Zwischen politischer und rechtlicher Verfassung

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (UKSC) began its work as the UK's highest court in 2009 and has since heard the most prestigious and constitutionally significant cases. While the justices have had to get used to their new role as the country's highest judges, their rulings have had a major impact on the UK's 'unwritten' constitution and the balance of powers in the separation of powers game from the outset. This book begins by outlining the historical, legal and political framework, followed by an analysis of the most significant cases from 2009 to 2019 and their location in the field of tension between the political and legal constitution.
