Brexit must be legal and fair

Sir, - Like your correspondent Gordon Kennedy of Perth (November 9) I too voted to leave the European Union but, unlike him, I am not “unhappy and angry” about the court decision.

Rather, I delight in an independent judiciary, where an individual can take the Government to court when she suspects it may be trying to operate illegally.

Many people in countries around the world would like such a chance.

I want out of the European Union, Mr Kennedy, but I also want to make sure we do it legally.

Once a Government thinks itself above the law we are on a very slippery slope.

Judges do not make the law, we do, through our elected representatives, and if we get it wrong we shouldn’t blame the judges, Laurie Richards. 100 Crail Road, Cellardyke.
