friday ruling: Prime Minister Theresa May welcomed Friday ruling, with a spokesman saying it would allow the British government "to proceed to trigger Article 50 as planned". One of the plaintiffs, human rights activists Raymond McCord, said he would appeal against the ruling in the Supreme Court, Britain highest judicial body, according to Nine News Australia. The case is the first judgment in legal disputes around Brexit that are being closely watched by politicians and markets. But it said it would defer to English courts on the wider issue of whether the British government has the right to invoke Article 50 of the EU Lisbon Treaty to leave the bloc, without the explicit backing of the British parliament. A case in London will rule on whether May can use the government "royal prerogative" power to trigger Article 50 without consulting parliament."The fact that the government has won in the Northern Ireland case could be seen to indicate that its prerogative power is holding up pretty well," said Stephen Tierney, director of the Edinburgh Centre for Constitutional Law."I would personally be surprised if the High Court in England reached a different conclusion," he said. Overall, 52 per cent of the UK voted in favour of leaving the EU in June referendum, but 56 per cent of those voting in Northern Ireland backed remaining in the bloc. Sterling hit an eight-day low against the euro after the ruling. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
