The United Kingdom Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that Boris Johnson’s suspension of Parliament is unlawful.
A panel of 11 justices at the Supreme Court in London gave their decision on Tuesday in a ruling on the legality of the Prime Minister’s advice to the Queen to stop Parliament until October 14.
The judges, led by the court’s president Lady Brenda Hale, heard appeals over three days last week arising out of legal challenges in England and Scotland – which produced different outcomes.
The panel ruled unanimously that Mr Johnson’s advice to the Queen was unlawful because it had the effect of “frustrating Parliament”.
