In other words, if EU law says something different from our national law, then EU law applies. It was in the Dillon case that the Court of Appeal decreed that it would disapply parts of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 because it offended rights supposedly given to victims by EU law. Relevant parts of the Dillon judgment are before the Supreme Court presently, which will shed some light on how far the Court of Appeal is correct about the wide application of article 2 of the protocol. We await that judgment with interest.
