Either way that case, the one to stop the deal being put to Parliament is a joke. The point of previous successful court actions have been to maintain the power of Parliament either by ensuring they had to pass Article 50 or stopping Johnson suspending it for a long amount of time. No merit at all in trying to use the courts to subvert Parliament.
No, that's the case to be submitted today. A letter from Brecow was the nail in the coffin for it.

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.
