Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Murray & Warchuk on Outster of Judicial Review Clauses and the Common Law
Philip Murray (University of Cambridge - Faculty of Law; University of Cambridge - Robinson College, Cambridge) & Paul Warchuk (University of New Brunswick - Fredericton - Faculty of Law) have posted Ouster Clauses and the Common Law: a Historical Reappraisal (142 Law Quarterly Review (forthcoming)) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: This article traces the development of English administrative law's approach to ouster clauses, re-assessing the idea that ouster clauses have always been treated by the courts as so constitutionally repugnant that they are to be given the narrowest of interpretations.

The way an executive branch that respects the rule of law objects to a district court ruling it doesn’t like is to *appeal* it, not to imply that the ruling just shouldn’t be followed.
