Brexit: Mishcon De Reya and Theresa May kicks democracy into the long grass
More than three weeks ago, the British electorate voted to Leave the European Union. But Article 50, that part in the Lisbon Treaty dealing with Brexit, has not been invoked. Article 50 gives Britain a maximum two-year deadline to leave the EU.
Theresa May, the new prime minister, says she won’t invoke the mechanism before the end of the 2016.
Today legal outfit Mishcon De Reya made progress in its bid to thwart the will of the people. Mischons wants Brexit be put to a vote in parliament. The courts will hear their bid in October.
…judges ruled that the lead case in the action should be that of Mishcon client Gina Miller, 51, an investment manager and philanthropist living in London who voted Remain in the EU referendum. Other applicants include London hairdresser Deir Dos Santos, 37, as well as Britons living in France campaigning as Fair Deal for Expats.
They should be laughed out of court. They won’t be. The powers that be are scared. They don’t want change. They want to kick it into the long grass.
