The first legal challenge to the Brexit referendum result has been rejected by the High Court in Belfast.
Two separate challenges were heard in the High Court over a three day period.

A cross party group of politicians and campaigners who brought one of the cases said outside court they are disappointed. They had argued the British Government couldn't trigger Article 50 without a vote in Parliament.

The second case was brought by Raymond McCord whose son was murdered by a UVF gang in 1997. He had argued the peace process would be negatively impacted by a British exit from the EU.

Mr Justice Paul Maguire dismissed all of the arguments made during the three day challenge

Raymond McCord says he will appeal the judges decision in the Supreme Court
