To start the process of Brexit the vote of the Westminster Parliament will be needed. This was stated by the High Court of London, which accepted the appeal of a group of pro-EU activists, led by businesswoman Gina Miller, according to whom leaving the Union without first consulting the legislative assembly would have represented a violation of the United Kingdom Accession Agreement to the European Community, 1972.
The judge therefore found the Government led by wrong Theresa May, which, for its part, continues to claim the right to invoke article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, or the EU recession clause, without going through Parliament. "The court - reads the sentence of the three judges of the high court of London - does not accept the arguments put forward by the government, which considers this vote useless". This is a capital decision, which could change the contours of Brexit, or even cancel it altogether.
"Parliament is sovereign", therefore, at least until further notice, because the Government, which said it was "disappointed" and "decided to enforce the result of the referendum" has already given the go-ahead to appeal to the Supreme Court against the verdict of the high court, giving rise to an arm wrestling between Downing Street and justice which will, at the very least, have the effect of postponing the procedure for article 50 which, in Theresa May's plans, should have been invoked by March next year.
After the news, the value of the GBP it began to rise again, reaching 1,11 euros in the minutes immediately following the announcement of the sentence.
