Brexit Rollercoaster Ride Continues

The political and economic rollercoaster ride we've been on here in the UK since the EU referendum in June seems set to continue following Thursday's High Court judgment in London¹. The High Court held that the UK government doesn't have the power to give notice to withdraw from the European Union under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. Only parliament has the power to change domestic law in the UK and, as serving notice to leave the EU will affect rights under domestic UK law, the government can't serve notice without parliament's approval.

So, just as we'd started to get used to the idea of notice being served by the government in March 2017, with the UK then leaving the EU by March 2019, the Brexit process has now been thrown up in the air again.
