Britain’s Supreme Court will issue its decision Jan. 24 on whether the U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May must consult the country’s parliament on her plans for Brexit. Its judges have been weighing arguments in the U.K. government’s appeal against a High Court ruling that it doesn’t have the right to unilaterally invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which would begin formal talks for the U.K. to withdraw from the European Union. On Tuesday, May laid out her plan for Brexit, which she said would be put to the vote in both Houses of Parliament. The Supreme Court will hand down its decision on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. London time, or 4:30 a.m. Eastern Time, according to a post on the court’s official Twitter account.
