LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will send a letter to the European Union asking for a Brexit delay if no divorce deal has been reached by Oct. 19, the government acknowledged for the first time on Friday.
He has not explained the apparent contradiction in his comments and opponents say they believe he will seek some kind of legal escape route or try to pressure the EU into refusing to agree to an extension request. They filed two linked challenges to Johnson in Scotland’s senior courts, seeking an order forcing him to abide by the “Benn Act”. This was the law passed by parliament last month requiring Johnson to seek a Brexit delay if he has not agreed a withdrawal agreement in the next two weeks.
In submissions to the Scottish court read out by the campaigners’ lawyer, Aidan O’Neill, the government said Johnson accepted he was obliged to send a letter to the EU on Oct. 19 asking for a delay if no deal had been struck and that if an extension was granted, Britain would also agree to it. “The govt is not prevented by Act from doing other things that cause no delay including other communications, private and public. People will have to wait to see how this is reconciled.
Will EU accept the extension ?
He had say NO when PM's asked him about this before some days is he aware of what he will do ?
Yep till Nov 1st 2019 pmsl
Or maybe just give up and try for a second referendum. But that would be called common sense and of course he wouldn't like the outcome.
Blimey!

sensational title - 'The legal challenge, fronted by tax lawyer Jo Maugham and Joanna Cherry, a lawmaker from the Scottish National Party, also says that if Johnson fails to comply with the Benn Act the courts could impose penalties “including fine and imprisonment”. '
