The U.K. Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the British Prime Minister could not trigger the country’s exit from the European Union without the authority of Parliament.
President of the Supreme Court, David Neuberger said that the vote was decided by a majority of 8-3, The Associated Press reports.
The court upheld an earlier ruling giving Parliament a direct role in invoking Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty, rejecting the government’s claim it can do so without a vote in Parliament.
Article 50, which has never been used before by any country, starts the formal process of taking Britain out of the 28-nation EU.
