Alumnus serves as counsel in Brexit case
Fri 11 November 2016
Gerry Facenna Q.C. is an Edinburgh Law School LLB graduate
Edinburgh Law School alumnus Gerry Facenna Q.C. was part of a six-counsel team advising the group of private individuals who sparked the Brexit case in the High Court.
The team was acting with funding raised by Crowdjustice. The key question Gerry and the other counsels were investigating was whether Parliamentary involvement was necessary to trigger any UK withdrawal from the EU. The High Court ruled last week that it was, although the government is set to appeal.
Our alumni continue to operate in the highest echelons of legal practice and we are always keen to read about their successes.
