DUBLIN—Members of Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party are set to take part in legal action challenging part of Britain’s divorce deal with the European Union, the party said on Sunday.

The DUP oppose the Northern Ireland Protocol, which covers post-Brexit trade between Britain and Northern Ireland, because it creates barriers between the British region and the rest of the United Kingdom.
