Government lawyers
will defend Prime Minister Theresa May of her right to trigger Article 50 of
the Lisbon treaty.
Opponents are trying
to stop the UK government from going ahead of the Brexit without authorisation
by the Parliament.
According to Mrs May
she is to invoke the article by the end of March 2017. However, campaigners
against Brexit said that Parliament is the only one that can authorise the
service of the Article 50 notice.
According to
Investment Fund Manager and Philanthropist Gina Miller, her lead case is
"all about the sovereignty of parliament and dealing with the Article 50
issues in a serious and 'grown-up way'"
London Hairdresser
Deir Dos Santos and a wide group of concerned citizens are also supporting his
and her Brexit legal challenge.
The lawyers of the
opposition said that it is a fundamental constitutional requirement that there
is full scrutiny by both Parliament houses before new legislation.
The case would be
heard by Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas along with Master of the Rolls Sir
Terence Etherton and Lord Justice Sales.
Attorney General
Jeremy Wright along with other government lawyers will argue before the three
judges that the challenge lacks merit and the vote to leave the EU is a
referendum approved by an Act of Parliament.
