EU Pushing Foreign Laws on Member-Nations' Courts

Apparently the EU Constitution has become the governing document for each member-nation's court system.

An EU plan calls for family courts across Europe to hear cases using the laws of whichever country the couple involved have close links to.

That could mean a court in England handling a case within the French legal framework, or even applying the laws of Saudi Arabia to a husband and wife living in Britain.

To make this scheme work, it will seem to be necessary for EU member states to have foreign legal documents and foreign law experts available to try cases potentially according to the laws of any of hundreds of nations. I suggest the idea is nutty.

However, it should be noted that this instance is an example of why it's preferable not to give up a nation's sovereignty to an international group of bureaucrats. All you get in return are bureaucratic mandates from foreigners.
