It seems Faisal Islam, the Sky News reporter attended the high court hearing last week where the legal challenge to the triggering of Article 50 by the government was being heard. He now thinks the decision will be close, having initially believed the judges would find in favour of the government, now he is not so sure (HERE):
What was thought of at first as a marginal case is now looking rather in the balance for the Government, with potentially huge significance for Brexit.
And:
The Lord Chief Justice said twice that [the government's] argument "baffled" him.
It is entirely plausible that the Government will lose this case, which might come as a shock to Westminster.
I think he is right and the significance will certainly be huge.
