Breaking: Unanimous Judgement from the Supreme Court...BORIS GETS SPANKED [View all]

Court has concluded the case is about the limits of the power to advise the Queen
Parliamentary sovereignty and parliamentary accountability
Power to prorogue is limited by the constitution
If constitutional functions have been limited because of the proroguing of Parliament - if that is the effect - frustrating or preventing the ability of Parliament without reasonable justification.

Effects of shutting down Parliament on fundamentals for democracy were extreme.

UNLAWFUL, VOID AND OF NO EFFECT
REMEDIES = PROROGATION UNLAWFUL. PARLIAMENT HAS NOT BEEN PROROGUED IN LAW. THEY CAN TAKE IMMEDIATE STEPS FOR EACH HOUSE TO SIT
