No, in fact UK judges do not invalidate UK laws. They are sometimes have to determine – because Parliament has directed them by statute to do so – whether UK laws are consistent with the Human Rights Act and the European charter. They are also REQUIRED – by Parliament – to attempt to construe the law consistently with those enactments . . because the law and Constitution of the UK by which they are bound and which they have sworn an oath to uphold require them to do so.
If you do not like the fact that jusges sometimes do this, agitate to get the UK parliament to repeal the Human Rights Act and to withdraw from the European Union. But get your facts straight.
I don’t like these things any more than you do.
