ASSESSMENT 010 explained:

Assessment 010 is the only Assessment in Constitutional and Administrative Law but the Assessment has two distinct Components. Each Component needs to be submitted separately. On Turnitin you will therefore see a submission space for Assessment 010 Component 1 and a separate one for Assessment 010 Component 2. It is important you submit each Component in the correct place.

Assessment 010 Component 1 is a work drawing on early learning in the module and planning an approach and response to the first part of Assessment 010 Component 2.

Assessment 010 Component 2 is a written piece of work that engages both early and later learning in the module by linking its first part to the planning work you will have done in Assessment 010 Component 1 as well as adding an ‘application of law’ dimension (a second part) not seen in Component 1.

Assessment 010 Component 2:

Look at the following scenario and the task below it:

The government is pushing through Parliament the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill that, if passed by Parliament and given Royal Assent, would allow the UK, in its domestic arrangements, to set aside parts of an international agreement made with the European Union regarding customs relationships between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Such an action would, according to many legal experts, constitute a breach of international law. International law is a body of legal rules established and recognised by states as binding in their relations with one another. It is not, however, a source of UK law unless given effect through an Act of the UK parliament (see lecture and readings on sources of law).

Your task for Assessment 010 Component 2 (up to 3000 words):

Part 1:Write an essay that addresses the following questions:

What is the problem, in terms of the rule of law, with the UK Parliament passing legislation that breaches international law? Can the UK Parliament even pass such legislation?

Part 2: Advise John on the following:

John Smith decides that, if the Bill were to pass into law then he would challenge it via judicial review. He comes to you asking the following questions:

• What is judicial review?
• What is the process for applying for judicial review?
• What would be the likelihood of the Administrative Court allowing the review?
• If unsuccessful, John asks if there is any way this Act can be changed or even repealed?

ENSURE YOU ANSWER BOTH PART 1 and PART 2 OF COMPONENT 2 ABOVE.
