However, the courts can interpret legislation and ensure it complies with existing laws, including the Human Rights Act. Ultimately, while the Supreme Court can influence how laws are applied, it cannot invalidate legislation passed by Parliament.
What is the UK equivalent of the US Supreme Court?
Britain does actually have a Supreme Court, but it's role differs from the US Supreme Court in that the latter has the function of making rulings that override the laws of individual states and apply to the Federal Government. Britain is not a Federation- although the countries of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have devolved administrations, and Scotland has a great deal of law-making autonomy, none of the UK's constituent nations have the same level of autonomy as individual states do in the US. The function of the British Supreme Court is to deal with legal issues that are controversial and have to be settled finally by an ultimate body, above whose word nobody can go. High Court decisions and sentences can be overturned by Supreme Court rulings on appeal- nobody can overturn a Supreme Court ruling, and it's function is basically to provide the final word.
