Quote:Embittered Remain campaigners are seeking to get EU judges to rule Brexit can be cancelled in a fresh attempt to defy the will of the people.
Europhile lawyers will today launch new proceedings in Ireland that could pave the way for Britain’s departure being abandoned after the two-year formal exit process has been started.
The pro-EU campaigners will bypass the British courts as they believe the Irish judiciary will be more likely to refer the case the European Court of Justice – putting key decisions on Britain’s withdrawal in the hands of judges in Luxembourg.
The action could lead to more drawn out court battles that see the divorce proceedings tangled up in EU courts for longer than a year.
Jolyon Maugham QC, a barrister who is leading the legal bid, said he wanted to give voters the opportunity to ‘change their minds’.
He will challenge the government’s claim that once Theresa May invokes the mechanism for leaving the EU, the Lisbon Treaty’s Article 50, that this cannot be stopped.
If EU judges rule the two-year process is reversible, it would mean MPs would have the power to halt the process further down the line.
Mr Maugham believes this will tie Theresa May’s hands in negotiations, as Parliament, which has a majority of Remain-supporting MPs, will have the ability to reject or water down a deal between her and other EU leaders.
