There are limitations on Parliamentary Sovereignty, particularly due to the Human Rights Act 1998, which incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into UK law. UK courts can declare an Act of Parliament incompatible with the ECHR. Additionally, the UK's membership in the European Union (prior to Brexit) allowed for Acts of Parliament to be challenged at the European Court of Justice if they contravened EU law.
Key Point: Parliamentary Sovereignty in the UK is subject to certain limitations, particularly through the Human Rights Act 1998 and, historically, through EU law. These mechanisms ensure that UK legislation complies with broader human rights standards and international obligations.
