Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sovereignty of Parliament means that Parliament is the supreme legal authority in the UK, which can create or end any law. Generally, the courts cannot overrule its legislation and no Parliament can pass laws that future Parliaments cannot change. This principle limits the ability of UK courts to disapply or ignore an Act of Parliament, ensuring that the laws passed by Parliament are the ultimate source of legal authority.
