Reading time: 1 minute

A border citizen in Northern Ireland has appealed to the Court of Appeal against a decision to refuse leave for a full hearing by way of judicial review before the High Court in Belfast.
The applicant is appealing a decision by the senior judicial review judge not to adjudicate on whether the Prime Minister allegedly acted in bad faith and for improper purpose in relation to Brexit.
The application for leave to appeal before the Court of Appeal will be heard next Monday 1 February 2021.
Solicitor Patricia Coyle said: “The Prime Minister has yet to provide a simple denial that he acted in bad faith or for improper purposes as alleged by the applicant.
“He has simply ignored the issues raised by the applicant and made no attempt to provide an explanation for the matters relied upon or to provide the information requested by the applicant.
“The issue in this case is one of good governance and not simply Brexit. Our client welcomes the opportunity to apply to the Court of Appeal for leave on the 1st February 2021 for leave for a full hearing.”
