- United Kingdom. Boris Johnson calls for Parliament's support for its Brexit plan "in the national interest"
The Court of Sessions of Edinburgh has rejected the legislation destined to force the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, to request an extension of Brexit to avoid a departure from the European Union without agreement on October 31.
Before the innumerable statements in which the head of the British Executive declared his intention to leave "with or without agreement" and to prefer being "dead in a ditch" rather than requesting an extension to the European Union, Westminster approved the one known as' Benn Act ', a law that seeks to force Johnson to request a delay from Brexit if he has not reached an agreement with Brussels on October 19. Judge Lord Pentland rules that "coercive measures" are not necessary to force Johnson to comply with that rule.
The plaintiff legal team is the same that caused the suspension of the British Parliament to be considered illegal. This is Jolyon Maugham, anti-Brexit activist and deputy for the Scottish Nationalist Party, Joanna Cherry; This time, in addition, the demand is borne by Dale Vince, billionaire of renewable energies.
This Scottish justice decision favors the Johnson Government and its plans to leave the EU without agreement.
