Ulster Unionist Party Leader, Steve Aiken OBE MLA, said:
“The Ulster Unionist Party has consistently opposed the NI protocol and has warned that it damages the Belfast Agreement by creating a border in the Irish Sea.
“We are mindful of the widespread unease and opposition that exists within the Unionist community regarding the protocol and have been exploring a range of options that can be used to remove it, including the right to challenge it in the courts, and we will continue to explore these options.
“Testing the Northern Ireland Protocol in the courts is a fair and legitimate thing to do. The very cornerstone of our democracy stands on foundations based on an individual’s right to legally challenge what they believe to be unjust.
