The problem here is in the use of the word court
In effect we are saying the only Courts are those dealing with English Law and all other "courts" are just various methods of using mediation, arbitration etc
The government had been put under some pressure to recognise sharia in the mediation arena and decided to acknowledge its use because it was happening in this country just as Beth Din and various other football and trade associations operate with a members only quasi judicial "proceedings"
It consoled itself with the thought that if acknowledged, it would have a better chance to supervise the application of its "rules"
That is I think what Mrs May now wishes to do.
Forget the fact she has completely lost the plot when it comes down to understanding the common law.
When we are all in this together and are ruled by the code Napoleon and we have an inquisitorial system it will all fade into insignificence
