Gina Miller says the court has set Sept 17 for an appeal hearing. FMTNews
September 6, 2019 6:10 PMLONDON: London’s High Court on Friday rejected a legal challenge against British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s suspension of parliament before Brexit, but said it could still be taken to the Supreme Court for a final appeal.
That prompted campaigner Gina Miller, who defeated the government over another Brexit issue two years ago, to bring a legal challenge. Miller told reporters outside court that parliament should be sitting during such a crucial time for Britain’s democracy, and she would not give up the fight. Miller’s lawyer, David Pannick, argued on Thursday that comments from Johnson showed an important part of his reasoning for the prorogation, or suspension, was that parliament might say or do something that impeded the government’s Brexit plans.
