Lawyer to bring legal case against UK PM Johnson's Brexit deal

Wed, 16th Oct 2019 19:13

LONDON, Oct 16 (Reuters) - A legal challenge will be brought
against British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's possible Brexit
deal on the grounds that it contravenes domestic tax law, lawyer
Jolyon Maugham said on Wednesday.

Maugham, who has challenged the government successfully on
its decision to suspend parliament and whether Britain could
unilaterally change its mind on leaving the EU, said that he
intended to lodge a petition to stop the government putting the
Withdrawal Agreement before parliament.
