>consider the case where they simply voided the UK's opt out of new human rights related legislation

Erm...you are aware that this case has nothing to do with the ECJ, but with the ECHR, which isn't even an institution of the EU, but of the Council of Europe* , which is an entity completely separate from (and older than) the EU.

* not to be confused with the European Council or the Council of the European Union. Yeah, it's a bit silly.

The decision OP refers to is a ECJ decision on the Charter of Fundamental Rights (NS v Home Secretary), not an ECtHR decision.

My apologies, I was indeed wrong.
