                                Who is Gina Miller?

                                Gina Nadira Miller is a Guyanese-British business
                                owner and activist who initiated the 2016 R (Miller)
                                v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union
                                court case against the British government over its
                                authority to implement Brexit without approval from
                                Parliament.

                                In September 2019 she successfully challenged the
                                government’s prorogation of Parliament, she was
                                formally supported in the legal case by the former
                                prime minister Sir John Major and the shadow
                                attorney general, Shami Chakrabarti. Gina Miller has
                                been hailed as an inspirational and brave woman
                                and she has succeeded in the most unprecedented
                                legal challenge of our time.

                                But Miller, 52, has a long reputation in business,
                                politics and campaigning.

                                Foundation.


                                In the late 80’s she owned a property photographic
                                laboratory, before becoming a marketing and event

                                consultant in 2006 and by 2009, Miller co-founded
                                the investment firm SCM Private (now SCM Direct)
                                with her husband Alan Miller.

                                She has been a leading campaigner against hidden
                                charges in pensions and investment and established
