Oliver Letwin thinks it a bad idea to go to the Supreme Court preferring the issue to be settled in Parliament. Do you think he has a point?

No,if the appeal should be allowed it will allow Theresa May to bring in A50 without remainers in the commons trying to obstruct its passage.
Yes of course it is !

Parliament should decide these matters, not a coterie inside Number Ten. That is what the High Court said, and Mrs May is showing contempt for our legal system by bringing the appeal before the Supreme Court.

She will lose this entirely unneeded appeal and then will have to debate A50 and voted on by Parliament, and she will be left with egg of her face.

Get a grip Mrs May !
I think your indigenous neighbours and Jimmy Krankie may think differently Mikey.
His se showing contempt for the legal system?
How is she ...

I agree with mikey, (makes a change :0) It is a point of law and nothing to do with the rights and wrongs of Brexit. I'm sure one set of judges will not override the decision of the others, and it will be another humiliation for the government.
Khandro
// It is a point of law//
Can you quote which law this is?
He has realised that the appeal is hopeless and certain to fail.
Yet more fuel to my theory that the entire 'Brexit' affair is a set up designed to fail so that the government can do the U turn it wants.
// I'm sure one set of judges will not override the decision of the others\\

You've obviously never studied law then.
// No,if the appeal should be allowed.....//

no - or Yes - AB readers can read the High Ct judgement [ caution - no rhyming slang - no Essex dialect like foo for 'through' - no phrases like 'darn sarf yeah?']

https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/judgments/r-miller-v-secretary-of-state-for-exiting-the-european-union/

and IF they do
they will see what these MPs are arn abart yeah ?

ALso - the govts of Scotland and Wales have applied to be joined in the appeal ( yeah means they can stand up and yak too yeah ? at the judge )
and so a possibiity of a regional veto rears its head
( actually it doesnt - but not many of them can read either apparently )

I mean you just read the doc - yeah even new Judge yeah who seems not to have yet - and its pretty obvious that it wont be turned over on appeal

the basic issues are
1.what parliament makes parliament unmakes
2.referenda dont have legal force ( wh we knew anyway)
3.and what happens to treaty rights granted under the treaty - can a minister sign them away without parliamentary say-so ( no of course not )

Ollie and his pals say that it is pretty obvious what the (judges') answers are to questions 1 to 3
Danny...what the Judges said is that Parliament must take the A50 through to a vote. As Khandro has pointed out, this judgement has nothing whatsoever to do with BREXIT......its all abut the sovereignty of Parliament. And the appeal will caertainly fail, as has also been pointed out by New Judge.

All this has been explained ad nauseum.
// You've obviously never studied law then.//

half the MPs havent either Jacko
and that is the problem
Mikey, Khandro said it was " a point of law" I just would like to know what law it is a point of,
Nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit.........?
i don't give rats plaster how they do it they must implement the will of the people and the people are sovereign end of.
Danny....I am not a lawyer. The High Court have studied our constitution and have come to the conclusion that A50 needs to be voted for in Parliament.

Why are you doubting what the Court has said ?
An element of desperation in your post there Tora.
I am not doubting what the court has said I just want to know what law is involved.
I am not a lawyer.


That's stating the bleeding obvious.
I will try again ... how is she showing contempt for the legal system, mikey?
