The High Court of Justice of England and Wales has given permission for lawyers acting for two British citizens, fighting a legal battle for the right to vote in the EU 'Brexit' Referendum, to take their case to the Court of Appeal on May 9th.
On April 28, 2016 Lord Justice Lloyd Jones, sitting with Mr Justice Blake, rejected the legal challenge taken by 94-year-old Harry Shindler, a WWII veteran who lives in Italy, and lawyer and Belgian resident Jacquelyn MacLennan against the UK Government’s decision to exclude from the June vote those Britons who have lived elsewhere in the European Union for more than 15 years.
