Electoral Commission may face legal challenge over 'Vote Leave' campaign move
The group supported by Tory heavyweights Boris Johnson and Michael Gove has been designated the lead Brexit campaign in the EU referendum amid confusion over a possible legal challenge.
The Electoral Commission - the official elections watchdog - said it had selected the Vote Leave campaign as it had "well-developed plans and structures" to work with other pro-Brexit groups in the run up to the vote on June 23.
Leave.EU - the group founded by wealthy Ukip backer Arron Banks, which was supporting the application by the rival Grassroots Out (GO) campaign - swiftly announced it would seek a judicial review.
