It has been confirmed today that the Supreme Court will deliver its ruling on the long running legal case against the government over Brexit on the 24th of January.

The ruling will confirm whether to reject or allow the government’s appeal against the earlier high court ruling that stopped the government from using prerogative powers to trigger Article 50 without first going to a Parliamentary vote.

The action follows the victory of campaigners Gina Miller and Deir Dos Santos at the high court in November 2016, in which three high court judges ruled against the government.

In its appeal, the government is asking for all 11 judges in the Supreme court to overturn the high courts earlier decision on the grounds that the use of prerogative powers did not undermine the sovereign authority of Parliament.

It is unclear whether the government will choose to use prerogative powers should it win its appeal, especially after the Prime Ministers statement yesterday in which she affirmed the governments desire to give Parliament a vote on any Brexit deal.

While some might consider this an unnecessarily petty legal action by losing remainers, this reporter believes that these sort of actions are necessary to preserve the fundamental truth of Britain: We are a Parliamentary democracy.

Supporters of the pro-democracy group “Invoke Article 50 Now!” hold a banner as pro-EU membership supporters hold EU flags on the first day of Gina Miller’s, a founder of investment management group SCM Private, lawsuit at the High Court, in London, Thursday, Oct. 13, 2016. The financial entrepreneur’s landmark lawsuit begins with a simple question: can Prime Minister Theresa May’s government invoke Article 50 and trigger Britain’s exit from the European Union without an act of Parliament?
