Question
In [ case ], a Scottish Nationalist raised an objection to the designation of the new monarch as Queen Elizabeth the Second. He argued that, as a matter of fact, the first Queen Elizabeth had been Queen of England but not of Scotland. The application was dismissed on other grounds but Lord Cooper stated, obiter:

'The principle of the unlimited sovereignty of parliament is a distinctively English principle which has no counterpart in Scottish Constitutional law ... Considering that the Union legislation extinguished the parliaments of Scotland and England and replaced them by a new parliament, I have difficulty in seeing why it should have been supposed that the new parliament of Great Britain must inherit all the peculiar characteristics of the English parliament, as if all that happened in 1707 was that Scottish representatives were admitted to the Parliament of England. That is not what was done.'

Answer
McCormick v Lord Advocate [1953] SC 396
