It's judgement day for the Northern Ireland Protocol which has been challenged in court by unionist politicians
the Withdrawal Agreement Act, which includes the protocol, did conflict with the 1800 Acts of Union in respect of free trade between Britain and Northern Ireland.The lady chief justice said the Acts of Union had not been repealed but one section, Article 6, now has to be read subject to the Withdrawal Agreement Act, which placed into law the arrangements for the protocol.
Normally, Stormont must approve controversial issues by a cross-community vote, but the protocol will be subject to a straight-majority vote.
