Statement by Ben Habib, Baroness Hoey and Jim Allister:-
“In the culmination of the legal fight against the Union-dismantling Protocol our case reaches the U.K. Supreme Court tomorrow.
“As applicants we are grateful to the widespread public and financial support which this case has enjoyed.
“This week we are looking to the Supreme Court for definitive determinations as to the breach of Article 6 of the Acts of Union which the Protocol inflicts and the consequences thereof, including what protection, if any, the Belfast Agreement affords against such constitutional change.
“It is very important to fully test these core legal issues, but, ultimately, the Protocol requires political defeat through holding tenaciously to the line, Stormont or Protocol? There can be no let up in Unionist determination to remove the scourge of the Protocol from our backs.”
