Judges in London continued Monday to hear a legal case to decide how Britain's divorce from the European Union should be triggered.

Meanwhile, a new poll by YouGov has revealed that more than half of the British public say the decision should be made by Prime Minister Theresa May.

May has announced that she will trigger the article 50 mechanism by the end of March, starting a two-year departure process. Members of Parliament (MPs) from across the political spectrum in the Houses of Parliament want to be involved in the decision-making.

In the High Court a group of individuals are seeking a judgement to force May to hand the decision making to politicians.

At the hearing Monday, Attorney General Jeremy Wright said parliament consent is not required for May to start the Brexit process. Wright cited the principle that governments use the royal prerogative in such cases. But those bringing the case argue that it is vital MPs and peers get a say. The case is continuing.

On June 23, the public backed Brexit by a margin of 52 percent to 48 percent, but three quarters of MPs backed the campaign to remain in the European Union.

YouGov's Matthew Smith, outlining the organization's latest poll, said: "Broadly speaking, those groups that want the Prime Minister to make the decision were those who tended to back Brexit at the referendum, whilst those who say it should rest with Parliament backed Remain."
