Article 50 challenge: the Skeleton

What follows is a copy of the Skeleton served by the ‘Interested Parties’ in the action before the High Court to establish whether an Act of Parliament is needed to trigger Article 50.

You can fund the action here. And you can read more about why I think democracy demands that Parliament decides here.

You will note that, in consequence of an order made by the High Court, certain sections of this Skeleton have been blacked out (or ‘redacted’ if you want to Talk Like a Lawyer). I am publishing, separately, a copy of the Interested Parties’ application to overturn that order of the High Court.
