Miller (2017)
FACTUAL BACKGROUND (ISSUE ONE)

PM wanted to trigger Article 50

(article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty states a country leaving the EU must give 2 years’ notice)

once the notice period expires, the UK would leave the EU

PM argued that she was using a prerogative power

(prerogative power= power to take a decision without needing to ask parliament first. ‘unwritten’
powers, so can be disputed about exactly what they are)

miller argued the prerogative power could not be used in this circumstance because

a) prerogative of foreign affairs did not include leaving a treaty and
b) only parliament could take a decision like this

LEGAL QUESTION/ QUESTION ONE
Did the prerogative of foreign affairs entitle the PM to trigger Article 50, or was it necessary to ask
Parliament to vote to approve this?

ANSWER TO THE LEGAL ISSUE (DECISION)
