Cherie Blair's firm hired to stop EU treaty

By John Hirst

Cherie Blair's firm hired to stop EU treaty

"One of Britain's richest men has hired Cherie Blair's law firm to advise him on a £750,000 High Court battle that could force Gordon Brown to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

Stuart Wheeler will go to the High Court in London tomorrow to seek a judicial review of the Government's decision.

The challenge could delay the ratification of the controversial treaty by months.

Mr Wheeler, 73, made more than £30 million from IG Index, the spread betting firm. He has raised £150,000 from 150 donors to pay for the action, which could cost £750,000.

He will claim that the EU Reform Treaty is almost entirely the same as the defunct EU constitution on which the Government had promised to hold a referendum and the Government should therefore hold a vote on the treaty".

My advice would be to save his money because it is unlikely that the courts will intervene in a government policy decision.
