The
High Court will rule as early as Christmas whether
Brexit should be declared “void”, in a legal case given a turbo-boost by the criminal investigation into Leave funder
Arron Banks.
Judges are poised to fast track the potentially explosive challenge, after
Theresa May’s refusal to act on the growing evidence of illegality in the 2016 referendum campaign,
The Independent can reveal.
Lawyers describe that failure as “absolutely extraordinary” – given the
National Crime Agency’s (NCA) probe into
suspicions of “multiple” criminal offencescommitted by Mr Banks and the
Leave.EU campaign.
