Two more Brexit court cases aimed at watering down or blocking our EU exit to be launched in Dublin and London

THE Government is facing fresh legal challenges aimed at delaying or watering down Brexit - just days before the Supreme Court is expected announce its verdict on the Article 50 case.
Ireland will soon hear an appeal about whether Brexit can be reversed, and a court in London is to take a claim later this month arguing that the UK should stay in the European Economic Area (EEA).
Businesswoman Gina Miller is awaiting a decision from the Supreme Court about whether she can force the Prime Minister to have a vote on triggering Article 50 before the Government can start Brexit talks.
She wrote an article for the New Europe journal today which said that the PM was trying to take rights away from British citizens by forcing plans through without Parliament.
The Supreme Court is due to announce its decision on the appeal within days, but senior ministers have admitted they probably won’t win and will be forced to put a Bill through Parliament.
Versions of a Bill to be sent through both Houses of Parliament are already being drawn up in anticipation – but there are fears that it will be delayed due to amendments from opposition MPs who are determined to slow down the process.
The Lib Dems have said they want to secure a second referendum on the terms of an EU exit deal.
Labour and the SNP are also expected to propose amendments, which could drag out the process.

A court in Ireland will host a bizarre crowdfunded attempt about whether Britain's decision to leave the EU could be REVERSED - despite the clear 23 June vote to Leave.
It will be headed by Jolyon Maugham, a London tax specialist, who said that "if we change our minds, we must be able to withdraw the notice without needing the consent of the other 27 states".
Their campaign - which could encourage efforts to block Brexit and stay in the EU if ministers got cold feet - has raised around £70,000.
And the High Court in London is set to hear a claim which will say Britain must stay in the European Economic Area.
Peter Wilding, who runs the pro-single market organisation British Influence, and Adrian Yalland will bring the case, claiming that parliamentary approval should be needed to quit the EEA.
They say that triggering Article 50 to leave the EU is different from Article 127 of the EEA agreement, which required parties to give 12 months notice before withdrawing.
