A British lawyer is launching a fundraising campaign in a bid to bring the issue of Article 50 to the Irish courts.


Jolyon Maugham QC is hoping the legal challenge to Brexit will be referred from the Irish High Court to the European Court of Justice (ECJ).


The aim of the case is to establish whether or not Article 50 can be reversed once it is triggered to be adjudicated upon by the ECJ.

Also strangely this court case wants to establish whether article 50 has already been triggered.


Theresa - you haven't done it on the quiet have you ?

"Maugham?s claim will also question whether Brexit was triggered in October when Theresa May told the EU council the UK would be leaving. Since then the EU has appointed negotiators and has been behaving as though the UK is on a departure trajectory, Maugham says"


Note: the EU chief negotiator said negotiations would end in October 2018 Ooooops :)

Because "The aim of the case is to establish whether or not Article 50 can be reversed once it is triggered to be adjudicated upon by the ECJ." This is a matter for the European courts to decide & Maugham is merely using the Irish courts a a means to get it referred to the European courts for a decision.


Jolyon Maugham QC is also trying to argue that Article 50 has actually been "de facto" or constructively implemented but this is likely to fail as the procedure is explicitly set out in Article 50 for this to happen.


The Irish courts are likely to refer the matter to the European courts for a decision. The Irish courts won't stray into matters where the UK courts have direct jurisdiction and will likely not offer any opinion except to refer it onward to the European Courts or maybe dismiss it on grounds of the Irish courts not being the proper venue for an application of this nature at this time.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
