A legal bid to force British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to ask the European Union (EU) to extend Britain's membership of the bloc if there is no Brexit deal failed Monday in Scotland's highest civil court.
Barrister Jolyon Maugham, one of the three people who took the case to court, said after the decision they will appeal against the result Tuesday.
Maugham said the court's decision meant there was now a risk of an unlawful Brexit.
Johnson has insisted Britain will leave the bloc, with or without a deal on Oct. 31.
