You may know already from the newspapers that Bill Cash has sought a judicial review in the High Court to ensure that the Lisbon Treaty should not be ratified, given the continued ratification of the Treaty in the UK after the outcome of the Irish referendum vote. This is from the PA newswire a few hours ago:
Eurosceptic Tory MP Bill Cash expects to hear today whether his application for judicial review of the treaty will be allowed to proceed.
Mr Cash said he was not challenging Parliament, but seeking a statement from the High Court that the treaty was now "incapable of ratification".
"The Lisbon Treaty cannot come into force unless every single member state ratifies," he said.
"The Irish people were asked in a referendum and have answered 'No'. This is directly binding on the Irish government, they cannot change it.
"This treaty is dead as a parrot. What I'm saying is that the treaty has ceased to have any meaningful effect."
