Scotland's top court will decide whether Johnson’s move conforms with the Benn Act. FMTNews Brexit

Boris Johnson is requesting an extension until Jan 31 to leave the European Union.

Johnson sent the request note as required, but unsigned, and added another signed letter arguing against what he cast as a deeply corrosive delay. “I think the Prime Minister is on the right side of the law on this occasion. The Benn Act required him to send a letter to the president of the European Council seeking an extension, and that’s what he’s done. The act doesn’t require that he sign the letter,” Pannick said, referring to law asking him to request a delay.
