Theresa May to personally refund the costs of the Brexit Supreme Court appeal
Theresa May tried to subvert Parliamentary Sovereignty by using the "royal prerogative" to trigger Art.50:
A) The Supreme Court appeal never had 'reasonable prospects of success'
B) The appeal was unnecessary. Parliament was always going to back Art.50
C) The appeal cost taxpayers millions
How much did we have to pay in wages for Judges, court costs and the governments' legal costs for the appeal? Millions presumably.
Was it reasonable or necessary to incur any of these costs? No. Parliament was always going to back Art. 50, 66% of MP's were from constituencies that voted Leave. Moreover, no credible lawyers consider the appeal likely to succeed.
Conclusion. The government members to personally refund the costs to the taxpayer.

This would be a personal matter for the Prime Minister, not the responsibility of the Government as a whole.
