U-M experts are available to comment on an UK court ruling that the government of the UK needs parliament's approval to start to the process of leaving the European Union (Brexit). The government said it would appeal against the High Court ruling.
Linda Lim is a professor of strategy at the Ross School of Business whose expertise includes political economy and business-government relations. She can discuss the economic ramifications of the referendum.
"The court ruling is likely to delay PM May's intention to trigger Article 50 in March. Any extended uncertainty is bad for business decision-making. But the rise in the pound suggests that at least some market actors must think the possibility that Brexit may be delayed or "softened" after parliamentary deliberations is a hopeful sign for the economy."
