Northern Irish activist joins other Brexit cases in Supreme Court

A Northern Irish rights campaigner whose case against Britain leaving the European Union without a deal was dismissed by Belfast's High Court last week succeeded on Monday in joining two other challenges before the United Kingdom's Supreme Court.

Campaigner Raymond McCord's challenge to Prime Minister Boris Johnson's suspension of parliament will be heard on Thursday, his lawyer said in a statement.

McCord had sought to challenge the suspension of parliament in Belfast but the court decided instead to hear his wider case against a "no-deal" Brexit. A Judge dismissed that, saying the issue was political and not for the courts.
