Government loses Article 50 court Issues. (Update)

Parliament must vote on whether the UK can start the route toward leaving the European Union, the High Court has ruled.

This suggests the governing body can't trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - beginning formal chats with the EU - in solitude.

Theresa May says the Brexit accommodation and peaceful powers mean MPs don't need to vote, yet campaigners fight this is illicit.

The assembly is depended upon to ask.

The PM has said she will start Article 50, formally telling the EU of the UK's plan to leave, before the end of next March. This takes after the UK's decision to back Brexit in June's accommodation by an edge of 51.9% to 48.1%.

The EU's other 27 people have said courses of action concerning the terms of the UK's exit - due to latest two years - can't begin until Article 50 has been summoned.

BBC right hand political editor Norman Smith said, if the court's decision is not toppled, there could be "months and months" of parliamentary hindrances ahead.

The lawmaking body is depended upon to ask for against the decision, with a further hearing to be held in the Supreme Court.
