The lord chief justice is to deliver the high court’s momentous decision on whether parliament or the government has the constitutional power to trigger Brexit. A case heard in the high court would normally go up to the court of appeal, but arrangements have been made for the case to “leapfrog” directly to the supreme court if permission is granted. Space has been cleared in the supreme court’s diary for a possible hearing on 7 and 8 December. Because the initial case was heard in the high court, it has not been televised. That challenge may also be appealed to the supreme court and joined with the London claims.
