Anti-Brexit legal campaigner Jolyon Maugham QC asked Edinburgh’s Court of Session to suspend the deal and bar the government from entering into arrangements under which Northern Ireland would become part of a separate customs area from the rest of the UK.
But a lawyer for the UK government said the case was constitutionally misconceived. “This is a manifest attempt to interfere with proceedings in parliament,” said Gerry Moynihan QC.
