Activists and politicians from Scotland that opposed the UK exiting the European Union appealed to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to clarify whether London could withdraw its notification to leave without permission from members of the bloc.
The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom on Tuesday rejected a request by the British government that intended to prevent the case from being examined by the ECJ.
The Court of Session, Scotland’s highest civil, court ruled earlier in November that London couldn’t prevent the case, which seeks to determine whether the UK has the right to unilaterally reverse Brexit.
