Scotland’s First Minister has said she is “disappointed” following the judgement.
UK Supreme Court president Lord Reed announced the unanimous judgment on Wednesday after Scotland’s top law officer referred a prospective Bill to the court.
Lord Reed said: “The Scottish Parliament does not have the power to legislate for a referendum on Scottish independence.”
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she respects the court's conclusion, but added it “exposes as myth” the UK is a voluntary union.
She tweeted: “While disappointed by it I respect ruling of @UKSupremeCourt – it doesn’t make law, only interprets it.
“A law that doesn’t allow Scotland to choose our own future without Westminster consent exposes as myth any notion of the UK as a voluntary partnership & makes case for Indy.”
