The verdict is now out after a brief summary 24 Jan
- 8-3 majority verdict
- govt can not trigger Article 50 without consent of parliament
Summing up in progress still. Watch it live here but we'll bring you the headlines and analysis.
GBPUSD 1.2533 after a pre-announcement spike to 1.2516. As I have been saying the verdict was largely expected and the rally may well be tempered.
I expect the govt will have a Bill lined up ready to pass through both Houses.
GBP lower again as judges rule that devolved assemblies in Scotland and N Ireland do not need to give consent.
GBPUSD 1.2465 and EURGBP 0.8630
