EU President Jean-Claude Juncker facing court for illegally blocking Brexit talks
Juncker issued a 'Presidential Order' stopping staff beginning Brexit negotiations - despite having no power to do so
LOATHED Europe chief Jean-Claude Juncker faces a humiliating court challenge for trying to unlawfully hinder Britain’s best breakaway deal from the EU.
Days after the UK’s historic referendum the EU President used a big televised speech to claimed he was using a “Presidential Order” to stop his officials starting to negotiate Britain’s exit.
The hated Eurocrat said no talks were allowed until Article 50 had been officially been triggered.
But now The Sun can reveal the Commission boss faces a courtroom battle over the boast – after his team admitted they have no power to issue “Presidential Orders” under any EU Treaty.
The Fair Deal for Expats group are set to bring an unprecedented case to the EU’s General Court accusing Juncker’s EU Commission of misleading and acting unlawfully.
