”A retired Court of Appeal judge, Sir Richard Aikens, has said the case is arguable and ought to be heard.“ is cited from Richard Spillett, Tim Stickings, “Former appeal judge says legality of the Brexit extension should be tested in court“ in Daily Mail dated 3 April 2019. Copying reference here, as I can’t find another and some editors are busy deleting all references to the Mail. Moonraker (talk) 05:28, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's because the Daily Mail is not a reliable source. A community discussion concluded that "Consensus has determined that the Daily Mail (including its online version, dailymail.co.uk) is generally unreliable, and its use as a reference is to be generally prohibited, especially when other more reliable sources exist." But, regardless of the Daily Mail saying that a retired appeal court judge has said the case is "arguable", it was rejected anyway, so it seems he was wrong.
