Desperate anti-Brexit MPs' legal challenge to block Brexit set for September 6 as they oppose Boris Johnson's No Deal

Remainer MPs win first court bid in attempt to sabotage No Deal Brexit

DESPERATE Remainer MPs and anti-Brexit lawyers today passed their first legal hurdle after launching a court bid to stop No Deal Brexit.

Lord Doherty rejected the campaigners’ attempts to have the whole hearing before one court to speed up the process, rather than the normal legal procedures. The court heard it would be "unfair" to allow the group to fund their own challenges and each side was awarded £30k to pay for costs. This was a fear for Remainers who were running out of time to mount a credible legal challenge before the EU's Halloween deadline.

A cross-party group of politicians is backing the legal petition, supported by the Good Law Project, which won a victory at the European Court of Justice last year over whether the UK could unilaterally cancel Brexit by revoking Article 50.
