Scottish judges held off on ruling on a case brought by opponents of a no-deal Brexit to ensure that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson complies with a law requiring he reach an agreement with the European Union or postpone the country’s departure.
The three-person panel, led by Judge Colin Sutherland, didn’t set a date for the next hearing when releasing their decision in Edinburgh Monday. The opponents are seeking a continuation to ensure that Johnson accepts an extension from the EU if it’s offered.
