The UK Supreme Court will sit in full Dec. 5th to hear the governments appeal over a three judge unanimous ruling that parliamentary approval is necessary prior to initiating the Brexit process. \u00a0It is unprecedented for all eleven\u00a0justices to sit for a single case. \u00a0The court has not sat in full since its 2009 creation.<\/p>\n
PM Theresa May’s government is appealing a\u00a0historic decision by\u00a0UK senior judges that invoking Article 50 without gaining parliament’s consent, would be unlawful. \u00a0Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty sets out how a country might voluntarily leave the European Union.<\/p>\n
Having the court uphold the government’s appeal is no small task for their lawyers. \u00a0The previous unanimous ruling implies the enormity of the job ahead.<\/p>\n
