Yep, betfair 'ave it ...

From https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plu...et/1.128049829

Overrule High Court 3.55-1
Do Not Overrule High Court 1.2-1

Betfair were wrong in the June ref, just like all commentators and predictions ... however I believe these odds are more likely to be accurate given the runners and riders in the market.

The Subsequent Article 50 Parliamentary vote is odds on to be passed according to the Betfair punters though, even considering SNP, LibDem, Ken Clarke and the handful of Labour decenters..

Trigger Article 50 1.22-1
Do Not Trigger Article 50 3.25-1

Another Brexit lie. Wigs are not worn in the Supreme Court.

Potentially, the Supreme Court has to refer it to the ECJ to get a clarification as to whether Article 50 is irrevocable. Ultimately, the SCOTUK cannot determine without question whether we would be able to trigger Article 50 and then change our minds further down the line, only the ECJ can do that.

If it isn't revocable, then an Act of Parliament is required to trigger it. If it is revocable, then an Act of Parliament is not required to trigger it, but may well be required in order to approve the terms of the agreement. Parliament may then choose to defer this to a second referendum.

Ladbrokes are offering 3/1 on a second referendum by the end of 2020, or Evens on the UK still being a full member of the EU on 1st January 2020.

But here's the rub - if the EU realise that there will be a second referendum, then there will be no deal - it'll be the hardest of Brexits or no Brexit.
