Rejected petition Ban the use of foreign law in civil and criminal matters

Recently the authorities in Irving USA passed a resolution to support a bill prohibiting foreign law. This bill forbids the use of foreign law in civil and criminal matters. We should do the same throughout the UK.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure what you mean by foreign laws. UK domestic law cannot be excluded or superceded by any other law.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
