Thanks to @robertcraig3.bsky.social for this in-depth review of The Collaborative Constitution @cambup-law.cambridge.org in the @nilegalq.bsky.social.

Great discussion about inter-institutional interaction and constitutional conventions.

Interesting thread by @drdeanknight.bsky.social reflecting on how parliamentarians should respond to a declaration of incompatibility/inconsistency in UK or NZ law - a question which @robertcraig3.bsky.social tackles in this review of The Collaborative Constitution in @nilegalq.bsky.social

New article out in the @nilegalq.bsky.social in a significant special issue edited by @livunislsj.bsky.social's Katie Johnston. A wake up call for both the NI Bill of Rights debate and to public lawyers across the UK to watch out for developments under Scotland's UNCRC Act:
