UK government expects to lose Brexit court case, making contingency plans: report

The Supreme Court is expected to rule in the next two weeks on whether the government can trigger Article 50 of the European Union's Lisbon Treaty, the first formal step towards leaving the bloc, without first getting Parliament's approval.
