Brexit court ruling: Scenarios that may unfold in Britain


A High Court ruling that Britain's Parliament must give approval before Prime Minister Theresa May triggers the formal process of taking Britain out of the European Union has cast some uncertainty over Brexit. Here is a look at the various scenarios that could unfold in the coming months as Britain moves to implement the result of the June 23 referendum vote in favor of exiting the 28-nation EU bloc. The British government is appealing the court ruling to the Supreme Court. If the High Court ruling is overturned, the prime minister would be able to invoke Article 50 of the EU treaty, the formal move that begins the exit process, at a time of her choosing. A successful election could strengthen May's hand and give her more ability to shape parliamentary debate over Brexit.
