In December 2017 we launched the case that a year later established that the United Kingdom could unilaterally revoke Article 50 if it wanted, defeating the UK Government, the EU Council and the EU Commission.

In July 2019, we brought litigation that ultimately led to the Supreme Court ruling Johnson's suspension of Parliament - perhaps the most shameful ever act of the modern British state - unlawful. theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
And in September 2019 we brought litigation that forced Johnson to comply with the Benn Act and request an extension under Article 50, something he had previously said he would rather "die in a ditch" than do bbc.com/news/uk-scotla…
We are hugely proud of our work in this space - much of it alongside the courageous @thatginamiller - that forced Government to adhere to the rule of law. We continue to do that work today.
