Phew! - My application to intervene in the Supreme Court Brexit Appeal is finally in

Yesterday morning I finally sent off my formal application to intervene in the Brexit Appeal in the United Kingdom Supreme Court.

You wouldn't believe the number of hours I've spent burning the "midnight oil" (actually the 2am, 3am or 4am oil).

The core of my application was a document I've labelled "Preliminary Skeleton Arguments".

I realise that I'm fighting an uphill battle. In part because I'm not a lawyer and in part because the Supreme Court seems a little closed minded to further interventions.

Louise di Mambro, the Registrar of the United Kingdom Supreme Court, put that to me in these terms: "the Justices are satisfied that all issues and points of view will be represented".

In other words, "Go away and don't bother us".

Perhaps immodestly I believe the Supreme Court Justices just might be wrong on that.

A key plank of my application to intervene is Section 2 of the European Union Act 2011.

If it applies, as I believe it does, then it seems to me that it's a game-changer.

For the moment I just have to wait and see if the Supreme Court is willing to grant permission for me to intervene or if the Court wants to turn its back on a key part of UK Statute Law which the High Court overlooked.
