Judicial Review of Theresa May's policy to have an "implementation period" relating to Brexit

This post is a brief placeholder to inform readers of this blog that a short time ago I took the first formal step towards Judicial Review of the Prime Minister's policy of an "implementation period" in her Brexit strategy.

For reasons that I won't spell out here I believe there are serious legal difficulties with the proposed "implementation period".

I gave the Government Legal Department until 17.00 on Wednesday 11th October to respond formally.

There are TWO legal challenges to Brexit currently active

Things took an interesting turn yesterday when I was contacted with information that my legal challenge to Brexit,  Brexit Legal Challenge: The Prime Minister has three weeks to respond , is not the only active legal challenge to Brexit. Before yesterday I was totally unaware of the other Claim for Judicial Review. Due to confidentiality considerations I can't disclose much about the other Claim for Judicial Review. The other Claim has a single Defendant, the Prime Minister. The other Claim was sealed by the Court on 31st October 2017. My own Claim was sealed by the Court on 1st November 2017. By chance, both Claims were served on the Government Legal Department on 6th November 2017. The effect is that the Government Legal Department must respond with its Grounds of Resistance to my Claim and the other Claim by 27th November 2017. Things are getting really interesting for the Prime Minister. Watch this space.
