EU law primacy is a marked departure away from the standard, in which a ratified treaty must be implemented into national law in other to codify that international obligation into the domestic legal system.

"In R v Secretary of State for Transport, ex p Factortame Ltd, the House of Lords ruled that courts in the United Kingdom had the power to "disapply" acts of parliament if they conflicted with EU law.

Lord Bridge held that Parliament had voluntarily accepted this limitation of its sovereignty Lord Bridge was a British judge, who served as Lord of Appeal in Ordinary between 1980 and 1992.
