Brexit court ruling appeal date set for 5 December

The government's appeal against the High Court ruling that MPs must vote on triggering Brexit will be heard in the Supreme Court from 5 December.
It will last four days, with the decision expected in the new year.
Theresa May has said she is "clear" she expects to start talks on leaving the EU as planned by the end of March.
Campaigners say MPs and peers have to scrutinise the government's plans beforehand, but ministers say they can decide without this happening.
The High Court ruled last Thursday that Parliament should have a say before the UK invokes Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - which triggers up to two years of formal EU withdrawal talks.
Labour has said it will not attempt to delay or scupper this process if a vote goes ahead. The prime minister has promised to invoke Article 50 by the end of next March.

[color=rgb(64, 64, 64)]The government said it was going to appeal almost as soon as the ruling came out and the Supreme Court has now granted permission - pushing through the process at a far faster pace than usual because of the importance of the case.[/color]
[color=rgb(64, 64, 64)]After Lord Toulson's retirement this summer, the appeal will be heard by all 11 Supreme Court justices.[/color]
[color=rgb(64, 64, 64)]At the completion of legal submissions, the justices will reserve their decision to a date "probably in the new year", a spokesman for the court said.[/color]
[color=rgb(64, 64, 64)]He added: "The Supreme Court will sit in its largest courtroom and make available a live video feed in the other two courtrooms in the building to enable as many members of the public as possible to observe proceedings.[/color]
[color=rgb(64, 64, 64)]"It should be added that, as with all Supreme Court proceedings, this appeal will be live streamed on our website, so it is not necessary for people to attend the building in person to watch the hearing."[/color]
[color=rgb(64, 64, 64)]On Monday, Mrs May said: "We believe the government has got strong legal arguments. We'll be putting those arguments to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court will make its judgement."[/color]
[color=rgb(64, 64, 64)]The lead claimant in the case against the government, investment fund manager Gina Miller, has said it is vital that the UK's negotiating position is voted upon by MPs. She added that for this not to happen would mean ministers were acting like a "tin-pot" dictatorship.[/color]
[color=rgb(64, 64, 64)]There is some debate about whether a vote at Westminster on invoking Article 50 would require a full Act of Parliament, or whether it could happen much more speedily by MPs and peers agreeing to a resolution - a written motion - instead.[/color]
[color=rgb(64, 64, 64)]But Brexit Secretary David Davis has suggested a full Act of Parliament is more likely should the government lose its case.[/color]
[color=rgb(64, 64, 64)]In June's UK-wide referendum, voters opted by 51.9% to 48.1% in favour of leaving the EU.[/color]
