COURT OF APPEAL judges have rejected Liberty’s bid for an urgent hearing against Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The human rights group brought the case before the court in an attempt to ensure the Government complied with the Benn Act, the law that forces Boris Johnson to request an extension if a deal has not been passed by October 19 - tomorrow. Lawyers for the civil rights organisation argued that is legal challenge, brought to ensure Mr Johnson "acts within the law", should be heard immediately. But the judges rejected their application and Lord Burnett said the full reasons for their decision will be given in writing at a later date.

I should hope so. Putting the deal before parliament was part of the Benn act, to try to stop that happening through legal means was doomed to fail.
