Brexit checks on food and farm products entering Northern Ireland from Great Britain must continue pending a judicial review of the order made by Stormont’s agriculture minister, Edwin Poots, the high court in Belfast has ruled.

Mr Justice Colton said he was “suspending the order or the instruction given by the minister of agriculture until the further order of this court”.
