The surrender of Sir Keir Starmer from the Chagos Islands stands for a legal challenge of the Supreme Court in an attempt to stop it, it came to the fore last night.
Leading Tory colleagues have issued a pre-action legal letter against the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to request a judicial review of the controversial proposed deal.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the Lord Lilley group, the former Minister of the Cabinet, Lord Kempsell, a former special adviser to Boris Johnson, and Lord Roberts of Belgravia, the historian, includes.
They claim that the government acts unlawfully by proposing to give British territory to Mauritius.
They claim that ministers do not have the privilege of giving British territory to a foreign power, that the costs of around £ 8.9 billion are illegal and that any legislation to support the deal is based on a 'wrong' understanding of international law.
However, there is a long -term unwritten convention that the courts are not involved in decisions of foreign policy, which means that it is unlikely that the judicial assessment will be heard.
Some high-profile lawyers, including former Attorney General Sir Michael Ellis, have previously warned that the proposed deal is defective and can therefore be challenged in the courts.
Under the proposed treaty, Mauritius would get the sovereignty of the archipelago.

Before he took office, the American State Secretary Marco Rubio said it was a 'serious threat'.
The White House has now apparently insisted on a representative who participated in the negotiations with Mauritius.
Ministers have claimed that national security will be damaged if no agreement is reached.
They insist that an advisory ruling of the International Court of Justice has questioned the legal status of the territory, so that the door is opened for satellite communication to be compromised and adjacent islands to be rented to hostile powers.
Speaking of the mail, senior defense sources warned that the British system for coordinating nuclear missiles depends on connection points on the base of Diego Garcia.
To function properly, these 'nodes' require physical protection and British control over the electromagnetic spectrum of the island.

But the deal includes a clause that says that other countries can also use the spectrum, from which Mauritius could benefit.
According to Senior Sources, this Beijing could offer a gateway to the top -secreted digital network system 3 (ADNS 3), which is shared by the Royal Navy and the American navy and, crucial, is part of the 'nuclear shooting chain' (NFC).
Downing Street said reporters that the deal would improve British national security, and insists that Great Britain would lose access to the spectrum.
“The very clear advice we have is that the future functioning of the base without a deal would be endangered,” said a spokesperson.
In 2019, the International Court of Justice ruled that the continuous administration of the Great Britain of the islands was illegal.
Although the UK ignored the ruling, it was subsequently ratified by the UN general meeting, which discovered that the islands rightly belonged to Mauritius.
