Originally posted by SueEllen View PostI answered your Belfast question in post 89. However a more lengthy answer is given below.
What people who have taken the government to court in each case are arguing on are legal technicalities.
In the case of the arguments presented before the courts in NI these arguments failed. Their arguments were NI specific and tried to expand the interpretation of the European Referendum Bill to include other bills on NI.
In the case of the lady and others in England their argument passed as they were only arguing on due process and the European Referendum Bill.
Now the Supreme court will say whether they agree with the reasoning of the judges in the High Court on their interpretation of the law.
All judges have vested interests in every single case as judges are people. Like anyone who has a role in judging the law they have to put aside their personal prejudices and some are better than others at doing this. In this case they made it clear the decision is not political but about the British Constitution.
In this instance the judges should not have been put in a position to risk explaining a possible COI.Comment

Interestingly the key point is to whether Article 50 is irrecovable leading to an automatic change of law or just a notification as the Belfast court concluded.
This would probably best be resolved by the European Court of Justice.
Looks like the government's promises to Nissan might prove to be illegal.

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostExactly, and HMG lost because they chose political expediency (i.e. not wanting to admit that A50 is revocable). Can you imagine the political backlash if this ended up in the ECJ? JFC, that would result in a Brexit so hard it would cut diamonds. Seriously, this nonsense needs to end and HMG needs to respect due process, which means a very simple Act with a very carefully crafted long title that is, effectively, impossible to amend in any substantive way. Playing the game within the rules is what's needed now, and Parliament was always going to have a say. The HoC would vote it through and the HoL would be left with an existential situation; IMO, they'd pass it too. The die-hard remainers and leavers are two sides of the same coin, equally contemptuous of due process."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
