(Worthy News) - The European Court of Justice has “ultimate authority” on Brexit, its most senior British member has warned.

She said the 28-member ECJ was “fully aware of the sensitivity and delicacy and constitutional importance of the issue”, adding that a European ruling could take between four and eight months in the event of a referral. [ Source ]
