LEGAL ACTION OVER BREXIT PROCESS

Legal action is being launched to try and stop Britain beginning the process of leaving the EU, without a new act of Parliament.

Law firm Mischon de Reya says it is acting on behalf of a group of academics and business leaders.

It believes it would be unlawful for a UK Prime Minister to trigger the Article 50 process which leads to a Brexit, without putting it to a parliamentary vote.

This after Britain voted to leave the European Union in a referendum last month.

Political reporter Theo Usherwood says Mischon de Reya's case has a technical point.
