The group bringing a legal challenge against the government's proposed use of the royal prerogative to trigger article 50 have criticised the government for refusing to disclose to the public the arguments they are using to justify their position (HERE).
Submissions lodged with the court this week ready for the first hearing on 13th October are heavily redacted so that the groups lawyers are unable to see what explanation is behind the government's legal position.
This seems incredible to me. The claimants’ lawyers have now submitted an urgent challenge alleging that the government is over-exploiting a commitment to protect litigants from online abuse to prevent disclosure of the main points of its defence.
