Court papers say Britain's Boris Johnson would seek delay if no Brexit deal with EU is reached
The government document quoted in Scotland’s Court of Session indicated Johnson intends to comply with a law Parliament passed this month that requires the prime minister to ask the EU for a postponement if no deal is in place by Oct. 19.
“What we have is a clear statement on behalf of the prime minister and government as to what it will do in respect to the requirements of the 2019 Act,” he said, referring to the law passed last month instructing the government to seek a delay if no deal is reached.Jo Maugham, a lawyer representing anti-Brexit activists in the case, said on Twitter that Johnson agreed in the document not to “frustrate” the law.
Johnson has insisted he wouldn’t ask the EU for an extension under any circumstances, saying colorfully he would rather be dead in a ditch, and vowed he will take the U.K. out of the EU as scheduled on Oct. 31, with or without an agreement.
