Challenge to article 50 dismissed
Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:06 am
In the high court yesterday 12th June .
The Government maintains that the 2016 EU Referendum was a decision to leave the EU – a decision “by the people”.
This is untrue. The Referendum was advisory only, and the Supreme Court has ruled that neither the Government nor the people are legally entitled to make such a decision. Only Parliament may do so, and then only by an Act of Parliament.
