Legality of May's Brexit Extension SHOULD be tested In Court

ARTICLE 50’s extension by Prime Minister Theresa May and her treasonous remain cabinet has been deemed ILLEGAL by the leader of the English Democrats, Robin Tilbrook.  

Mr Tilbrook, 60, who is a solicitor, has launched a legal challenge against the government with fellow constitutionalist Graham Moore.

The Daily Mail reports:

A former appeal judge has said the legality of Theresa May's delay to Brexit should be tested in a court.
Sir Richard Aikens, who sat in the Court of Appeal from 2008 until 2015, spoke after the leader of the English Democrats political party launched a legal battle claiming that the UK has already left the EU.
Britain was supposed to leave on March 29, but was granted an extension by the EU until April 12 at a meeting in Brussels last month.
But the English Democrats leader Robin Tilbrook, as well as a number of Tory Brexiteers, says the new exit date should have gone before the House of Commons and the House of Lords before it was approved.

Mr Tilbrook yesterday announced he had submitted his case to the High Court and hoped to challenge the decision within weeks.

He says that, if his case is successful, the delayed leave date will be 'null and void' and Britain will already have left the EU and no longer be subject to its laws.

The case has been compared to the landmark ruling forced by campaigner Gina Miller, which led to judges ruling Parliament should have a vote on Brexit.

Respected former appeal judge Sir Richard Aikens has said the way in which the extension was organised is 'highly unsatisfactory' and 'arguably illegal'.

Four Conservative MPs last week wrote to Theresa May also suggesting delaying Brexit in the way she did was illegal.

Sir Bill Cash, who was among the four, wrote: 'We ask that you fully explain the actions taken by your Government and why you say that what it has done and is doing is legal.
'We are gravely concerned that you are unlawfully seeking to extend the UK's membership of the EU.'
