DUP councillors in Belfast have distanced themselves from their city council joining a legal challenge against an attempt by Stormont minister Edwin Poots to halt Irish Sea border checks.
Mr Poots is being challenged in the High Court for instructing Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) staff to stop the checks on goods entering Northern Ireland's ports.
The step taken in February by the DUP Agriculture Minister came amid the party's ongoing opposition to Brexit's Northern Ireland Protocol.
