LONDON – In a major blow for Britain’s government, the High Court ruled Thursday that the prime minister can’t trigger the U.K.’s exit from the European Union without approval from Parliament.
The government said it would appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.
Britons voted in June by a margin of 52 to 48 per cent to leave the European Union, a process known as Brexit.
