A U.K. Supreme Court panel will decide whether to allow the British government to appeal a Scottish ruling that sent a case on the reversibility of the Brexit process to the EU’s top tribunal.
The application for permission to appeal has been referred to a panel of Supreme Court President Brenda Hale, Deputy President Robert Reed and Patrick Hodge. The court said Friday that it “is aware of the urgency of this matter” in the email statement acknowledging the application.
