Boris Johnson's Brexit plans are thwarted after the Supreme Court rules his decision to prorogue Parliament was unlawful
BRITAIN’S SUPREME COURT has ruled unlawful Boris Johnson’s five-week suspension of Parliament. In a unanimous judgment read out by the court’s president, Lady Hale, the justices ruled that the prime minister’s action prevented Parliament from carrying out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification.The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, has summoned MPs to sit on September 25th.
The judgment is devastating for the prime minister. Not only did he lose on every legal point, and do so unanimously, but also the justices in effect implied that he had misled the queen when seeking her agreement to the suspension with advice that “was unlawful, void and of no effect.” He had claimed this was necessary to prepare for a new legislative session to start on October 14th.
