The High Court action concluded last week. It was a very important case that was brought, which relates to the use of the royal prerogative to trigger article 50. All sorts of issues have been raised as to whether this approach, for example, is in breach of the bill of rights, and subsequent court decisions and legislation. It is a major constitutional case.

The constitution, devolution issues and the devolution statutes have been referred to in that case, so I’ve considered it prudent to have conducted a watching brief on that particular case. The case has already been listed to leapfrog the Court of Appeal to go to the Supreme Court, commencing on 7 December. Once the judgment from the High Court is received, I’ll be giving that consideration, with a view to considering any potential devolution issues, constitutional issues, that are important to Wales and to the Assembly, and considering any further steps thereafter.
