    Scottish government to intervene in Brexit case - BBC News

    The Scottish government is to seek to intervene against the UK government's appeal to the Supreme Court over the triggering of Article 50.

    PS. Its now looking that if Brexit goes ahead, it will break-up the UK. A general election in June 2017 is no doubt on the cards.

    Does anyone know whether the Scottish government can involve the ECJ (IIRC it has the be the SC that does this)?

      I'm sure they'll try their best if nothing other than to keep winding up the rest of the UK.

        This is little more than Sturgeon looking for publicity. The case that the devolved administrations have an independent role in ratifying the triggering of A50 or in accepting the negotiated outcome is emphatic nonsense, since this is notification on a Treaty matter.

        As an aspect of international relations treaty-making remains within the responsibilities retained by the Government. It is clear that the implementation of treaties will have a direct impact on the devolved bodies. They are therefore consulted beforehand on any treaties which may have implications in their areas of competence. The Westminster Parliament will retain the powers to legislate in the implementation of treaty obligations. However, it is not the wish of the Government or Parliament to use treaty-making as a method to undermine the legislative and administration autonomy of the devolved bodies. Therefore, where treaty provisions require domestic implementation which lies within the remit of the devolved bodies they will retain their legislative and administrative powers to fulfil the obligations.

          It is, but Sturgeon doesn't care about that. This is a about building the case for IndyRef II. If they can't have a say in leaving the EU as part of the UK, then they'll push for independence so they can decide for themselves.

            What an awfully badly draft document by Parliament. It has references to the UK and to Great Britain as if they are the same. This opens a can of worms especially for the NI Parliament (who are bringing separate legal action).

            It does seem that technically A50 will need consent of Scotland and NI, but much depends on how far Scotland and NI are willing to take their cases

              Interesting comments regarding on that story. 'Scotland did not vote remain' etc. (Actually they did but that's another story).

              You know the Tories won the last election on a landslide. 29%. That's the percentage of the electorate that was required using the first fast the post system to secure a landslide. 29% that's divided the country. And now Scotland being made out a

                  Why do you think Cameron ran away as fast as possible? He was asked by various people to put safeguards in it but he ignored them as he presumed he would win.
