[Anglican Mainstream] 8 Feb 2008--The whole of England and Wales is under the jurisdiction of the Courts. The only way Sharia law could apply directly to a particular area would be for the jurisdiction of the Courts over that area to be removed, and for a Sharia court system to replace it. That would require an Act of Parliament to create a separate jurisdiction (from the Latin ius, iuris meaning “law” and dicere meaning “to speak”) in which the Queen’s rule no longer applied. The constitutional and political implications of this are immense.
