English to Spanish: SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM REFERENCE by the Attorney General and the Advocate General for Scotland - United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill General field: Law/Patents Detailed field: Law (general)
Source text - English SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM REFERENCE by the Attorney General and the Advocate General for Scotland - United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill
JUDGMENT GIVEN ON 6 October 2021
Heard on 28 and 29 June 2021
On 16 March 2021 the Scottish Parliament passed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill (“the UNCRC Bill”).
Her Majesty’s Attorney General and Her Majesty’s Advocate General for Scotland have referred to the Supreme Court the question whether certain provisions of that Bill would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament.
The Bill is designed to give effect to a treaty to which the UK is a signatory: the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (“the UNCRC”). The UNCRC was ratified by the UK in 1991. It is reflected in a number of provisions of domestic law, but has not been incorporated as a whole.
This reference takes issue with the Scottish Parliament’s decision to incorporate the UNCRC. That is recognised to be a matter for the Scottish Parliament. The reference reflects concerns that some of the provisions of the Bill would impinge on matters which lie outside the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament.
In broad terms, two principal questions of law are raised. The first is whether certain of the provisions would affect the power of Parliament to make laws for Scotland, thereby modifying section 28 of the Scotland Act, in breach of the limitation on the Scottish Parliament’s competence imposed by section 29 of that Act. The second question is whether certain provisions which, on their face, admittedly exceed the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, can be interpreted as being within its competence by means of recourse to the interpretative obligation set out in section 101 of the Scotland Act.
The answers to these questions are potentially relevant not only to the Scottish Parliament but also to the other devolved legislatures of the UK. The Counsel General for Wales has therefore been represented in these proceedings and has presented submissions to the court.
The Scottish Parliament is a democratically elected legislature with a mandate to make laws for Scotland. It has plenary powers within the limits of its legislative competence. But it does not enjoy the sovereignty of the Crown in Parliament: rules delimiting its legislative competence are found in section 29 of and Schedules 4 and 5 to the Scotland Act, to which the courts must give effect.
The Scotland Act must be interpreted in the same way as any other statute. The courts have regard to its aim to achieve a constitutional settlement and therefore recognise the importance of giving the Scotland Act a consistent and predictable interpretation, so that the Scottish Parliament has a coherent, stable and workable system within which to exercise its legislative power. That is achieved by interpreting the rules as to competence in the Scotland Act according to the ordinary meaning of the words used.
Section 29(2) provides, so far as material:
“A provision is outside [the competence of the Scottish Parliament] so far as any of the following paragraphs apply -
(a) it would form part of the law of a country or territory other than Scotland, or confer or remove functions exercisable otherwise than in or as regards Scotland; (…)
According to Schedule 4, “An Act of the Scottish Parliament cannot modify, or confer power by subordinate legislation to modify, the law on reserved matters.”
The meaning of “modify” has already been considered by the court: “Without attempting an exhaustive definition, a protected enactment will be modified by a later enactment, even in the absence of express amendment or repeal, if it is implicitly amended, disapplied or repealed in whole or in part. That will be the position if the later enactment alters a rule laid down in the protected enactment, or is otherwise in conflict with its unqualified continuation in force as before.
Translation - Spanish TRIBUNAL SUPREMO DEL REINO UNIDO REFERENCIA del fiscal general y del abogado general para Escocia -. Proyecto de ley sobre la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos del Niño (Incorporación) (Escocia).
FALLO DICTADO el 6 de octubre de 2021.
Visto los días 28 y 29 de junio
El 16 de marzo de 2021 el Parlamento Escocés aprobó el Proyecto de ley sobre la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos del Niño (Incorporación) (Escocia) («Proyecto de ley CNUDN»).
El fiscal general de su majestad y el abogado general de su majestad para Escocia han remitido al Tribunal Supremo la cuestión sobre si ciertas disposiciones de dicho proyecto de ley se encontrarían dentro de las competencias del Parlamento escocés.
El proyecto de ley está diseñado para hacer entrar en vigor el tratado del que el Reino Unido es signatario: la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos del Niño («la CNUDN»). La CNUDN fue ratificada por el Reino Unido en 1991. Se refleja en muchas de las disposiciones de la legislación nacional, pero no se ha incorporado en su totalidad.
Esta remisión cuestiona la decisión del Parlamento escocés de incorporar la CNUDN. Se reconoce que esa es un asunto que le corresponde al Parlamento escocés. La remisión refleja su preocupación por que algunas de las disposiciones de proyecto de ley impacten en asuntos fuera de las competencias legislativas del Parlamento escocés.
A grandes rasgos, se plantean dos cuestiones legislativas principales. La primera es si algunas de las disposiciones afectarían al poder del Parlamento de crear leyes para Escocia, modificando así la sección 28 de la Ley de Escocia, en contravención de la limitación de competencias del Parlamento escocés impuesta por la sección 29 de cucha Ley. La segunda cuestión es si ciertas disposiciones que, a primera vista, ciertamente exceden las competencias legislativas del Parlamento escocés, se puede interpretar que están dentro de sus competencias mediante recurso a la obligación interpretativa establecida en la sección 101 de la Ley de Escocia.
Las respuestas a estas cuestiones son potencialmente relevantes, no solo para el Parlamento escocés, sino también para las otras legislaturas descentralizadas del Reino Unido. El abogado general para Gales, por tanto, ha estado representado el es procedimiento y ha presentado conclusiones al tribunal.
El Parlamento escocés es un cuerpo legislativo elegido de manera democráticas con el mandato de hacer leyes para Escocia. Tiene poderes plenarios dentro de los límites de su competencia legislativa. Pero no goza de la soberanía de la Corona en el Parlamento: las normas que delimitan sus competencias legislativas se recogen en la sección 29 y en los anexos 4 y 5 de la Ley de Escocia, a las cuales los tribunales deben dar efecto.
La Ley de Escocia debe interpretarse de la misma manera que cualquier otra ley. Los tribunales tienen en cuenta su objetivo de alcanzar un acuerdo constitucional y, por tanto, reconocer la importancia de hacer una interpretación coherente y predecible de la Ley de Escocia, de forma que el Parlamento escocés tenga un sistema coherente, estable y practicable en el que pueda ejercer su poder legislativo. Esto se consigue interpretando las normas relativas a las competencias recogidas en la Ley de Escocia de acuerdo con el significado común de las palabras que utiliza.
La sección 29(2) establece, en la medida en que sea pertinente:
«Una disposición se haya fuera de las competencias del Parlamento escocés en la medida que aplique cualquiera de los siguientes párrafos:
(a) formare parte de la legislación de un país o territorio diferente de Escocia, o confiere o retirare funciones que solo pueden ejercerse en Escocia o en relación con Escocia; (...)
Conforme al anexo 4, «Una ley del Parlamento escocés no puede modificar, o conferir poder por legislación subordinada para modificar, le ley en materias reservadas»
El significado de «modificar» ya ha sido tenido en cuenta por el tribunal. «Sin intentar dar una definición exhaustiva, una promulgación protegida será modificada por una promulgación posterior, aun en ausencia de una enmienda o derogación expresa, si se enmienda, se deja de aplicar, o se deroga implícitamente en su totalidad o en parte. Esa será la posición si la promulgación posterior altera una norma establecida en la promulgación protegida, o si está en conflicto con continuación en vigor incondicional como antes.

Bio
English and French into Spanish Translator. Specialized in financial translation and website, software, and video game localization. I also offer machine translation post-editing (MTPE) services.
I have worked as a translation intern at two companies, carrying out translation, editing, SEO website localization, SEO content writing, translation memory and terminology database maintenance, among other tasks. Additionally, I have received some translation assignments for video game updates from the last company where I interned.
I am a curious person with an interest in a variety of topics, such as finance, nutrition, physical activity, and natural sciences. Therefore, I enjoy reading and watching content that I can learn from and dive into it with pleasure whenever I translate it or consume it on my own initiative.
Occasionally, I also translate texts in the legal, political, and defence fields as practice to gain some experience, despite not being real assignments.
