The Official Brexit Supreme Court thread.

respondent

edit: Oh, as you were, "appellee" is a US term for a respondent

Nope, it's the correct terminology for the appeal stage of a hearing.

I agree they won't change the original verdict. However, what they say needs to be done will indicate whether or not they overstep the mark imo, and indeed other's.

Agreed in the sense that it's definitely going to be controversial. My best guess is that they'll require a substantial vote (Bill), but won't prescribe anything beyond that. If they start making prescriptions about the role of the devolved administrations, the detailed Parliamentary process, or refer the reversibility of A50 to the ECJ, we're down the rabbit hole...

I think the correct phrase talks about a creek rather than a rabbit hole....

Interesting debate and the government is now giving a few more details, David Davies is aiming for a Norway or Switzerland style "Soft Brexit" deal.

David Davies considering a Switzerland or Norway style deal

There are several options of customs union; one is shown by Norway, which is in the single market but not in the customs union,” Davis said. “You’ve got one shown by Switzerland, which is neither in the customs union nor in the single market but has a customs agreement, so there are a whole series of options that exist.

Watch immigration control get watered down.

And as for the vote, it shows that if you feed turkeys what they want, they will vote for Christmas.

It reminds me of stupid building society members who got paid a few hundred pounds to vote to be demutualised but then had to pay thousands in extra costs or lose their homes.

Not sure why you're posting that generic stuff here, but it's a classic misreading of what was actually said. The journo probably didn't even watch the proceedings This was a response to the case for leaving the CU, to which Davis repeated the same line that it isn't black and white (it is, rather ), and then proceeded to identify four options. Naturally, Bloomberg reports only the soft options, and somehow suggests it's a change in position. You have to admire how badly Bloomberg are taking it, along with the FT, Independent, Sky

Ps. Did you watch Letwin on Newsnight last night?

They need something to cling to to try and show they haven't lost.

I'm afraid to say, it ain't looking good for the appellant

There was concern that the judges had reached their verdict prior to hearing any evidence.

David Letwin said what you want to hear

He's not the Brexit minister, and what David Davies said today clearly contradicts what he said.
