BELFAST: Northern Ireland´s High Court on Friday rejected a legal challenge to Brexit, the first verdict on the issue in the UK.
"In respect of all issues, the court dismissed the applications," judge Paul Maguire said.
The challenge was brought by several individuals who claimed that the UK´s withdrawal from the European Union could not apply to Northern Ireland because it could undermine the peace process accords signed with the Republic of Ireland.
