More trouble stirs in the atmosphere as a French legal
expert files a legal action to prove the illegality of the Brexit Referendum
Several British nationals residing in France who were
restrained from voting during the referendum as a result of the ’15-year’ have
been spoken to by Julien Fouchet, of Cornille-Pouyanne avocats based in
Bordeaux, with respect to have such a decision might have affected their lives
and rights.
The barrister claimed he is not against Brexit, however, he
is of the opinion that another referendum should be organised, so that all
British adults can participate.
He said: “A lot of people have explained their situation –
that they have been in France a long time and could not vote, and they
encouraged me.
“Now, I’ve been writing to them all and I have explained
that if they want to help as much as possible they could take legal action with
me; but I’ve not had much response to that so far.
“People have given their experiences but don’t necessarily
want to go to court.”
He also said: “Personally I am doing this out of European
solidarity, not to enrich myself."
Nevertheless, he is likely to face a hard task in trying to
convince the General Court of the EU to accept his case.
In the meantime, he said he is preparing an English
translation of his letter that he will also be sending to those who got in
touch to help clarify the French legal terms.
