The U.K. Supreme Court says Scotland and Wales will have a say in the government’s appeal against a High Court order that it must seek parliamentary approval for Brexit. The four-day hearing is expected to start December 5. A decision is expected early next year. Prime Minister Theresa May says she will invoke Article 50 of the EU charter next March to trigger talks on the U.K.’s future relationship with the European Union.
