This talk will mainly focus on the provisions contained in Article 50 of The Treaty on European Union and what they mean. In the light of the decision by the Supreme Court, we also hope to provide an opportunity for discussion on the implications of the decision for Britain leaving Europe. In addition exploring the underlying issue of Constitutional Law relating to the role of Parliament and the Royal Prerogative in making decisions which has been made clearer by the Supreme Court.
