Dublin High Court Challenge to Brexit
This story gaining traction tonight, many European journalists tweeting the story. Quote:
A group of British and Irish lawyers are planning an action in the High Court in Dublin to establish if Brexit can be halted or reversed following the triggering of article 50. Full Irish Times article in link below.British prime minister Theresa May is set to trigger article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, the formal process for confirming the UK is to leave theEuropean Union, by the end of March 2017. The lawyers hope the court in Dublin will ask the European Court of Justice to determine if Britain can unilaterally revoke its invocation of article 50 and if leaving the EU means that Britain must automatically leave the European Economic Area. https://t.co/psDZO325Hw |

Seems like a novel argument to say that Article 50 has already been triggered, and if it hasn't then the EU is in breach of their own laws. Obviously its just an excuse to get an ECJ ruling, but its an interesting way to go about it.

British QC @JolyonMaugham expects to mount legal challenge in Irish courts in a bid to get #Article50 reversibility referred to the ECJ This is certainly an interesting development late in the day. |

the court case is about whether Britain could change it's mind during the process that doesn't stop the process going ahead as planned |

You are back to the decision after the negotiation being three way. - accept the Tory deal - leave EU with no deal - untrigger article 50 |

Its the Dublin High Court. And they're involved because a British lawyer has decided to take a case through the Irish courts about Article 50. Since the case involves EU law rather than the British constitutional issues that are being thrashed out in your courts, I presume the case could have been taken in any EU country, but he chose Ireland because we speak English.

Seems they are claiming that Mrs May may have triggered article 50 already by informing the European council we were leaving - hence justifying her exclusion from some of their later meetings.
Quite a lot of lawyers with time on their hands it seems! |

There seems to be an unending queue of incredibly rich people who will spare no expense to block the democratic will of the British electorate.

Mr Maugham said many people in Britain on both sides of the referendum debate were concerned about the impact of Brexit on Ireland.
Are they? I don't think many will have given it a second thought. Maybe more in Northern Ireland. |

Only read RTE which has more credibility in any event. If they indeed claim it has already been triggered then that's nonsense... but I don't think the IT reporting is correct.
