This Emerging Issues video is the fourth in a series about
Brexit - the June 2016 referendum in which the UK electorate voted
to leave the EU. In it, Adam Brown, partner in the Firm's Financial Institutions Litigation & Regulation
Practice, discusses the recent decision in which the High Court
ruled that the UK government cannot trigger Article 50, the exit
mechanism and the two-year period for negotiating the UK's exit
from the EU, without parliamentary consent. He notes that the UK
government plans to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court and
discusses how the type of parliamentary consent required may impact
both the timeline and conditions for Brexit.
