Abstract
The withdrawal process from the EU (Brexit) raises issues of great significance both in British constitutional law and in EU law, according to Article 50 TEU. Some of the issues raised in the British legal system have been settled by the Supreme Court in the Miller case; but there are others still to be clarified: the role of Parliament in the task of adapting EU law, which the Government is attempting to replace via an unlimited delegation of powers (the Henry VIII clauses); or that of the devolved bodies, which the Government is seeking to exclude from the recovery of powers from the EU. The outcome of the negotiations may jeopardize British internal cohesion, in relation to both Scotland and Northern Ireland. And the circumstances of withdrawal and future relations between the UK and the EU —especially in the case of no deal— could seriously affect the UK’s economic wealth and stability. The formal right to withdrawal is thus deeply conditioned by its practical feasibility.
