EUROPE: Prime Minister Theresa May told European Union leaders on Friday she is confident a court ruling that could delay Britain's departure from the bloc will be overturned, and that she can stick to her Brexit timetable.

A spokesman said May had told German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker she believed her case that the government, not parliament, should be responsible for triggering Article 50 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty and start the divorce would win in the country's highest court.
