The first legal challenge to whether article 50 needs parliamentary approval before it can be triggered is set for a preliminary hearing on July 19th in the high court (HERE). The challenge has been brought by a British citizen Deir Dos Santos. Another challenge, on similar grounds, is being prepared by Mishcon de Reya.
A criminal barrister at Church Court Chambers in London, has posted an opinion arguing that politicians supporting the Vote Leave campaign might have opened themselves up to legal action for alleged misrepresentations over claims that quitting the EU would allow an extra £350m to be spent on the NHS. It claims politicians might have committed offences of misconduct in public office. If anyone takes this up it will be interesting.
