The British Supreme Court is preparing to rule on the lawfulness of U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament on Tuesday.
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has refused to rule out the possibility that he might suspend the British parliament for a second time if the country's Supreme Court rules that his first decision to do so was unlawful.United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaks at the United Nations Climate Action Summit on September 23, 2019 in New York City.U.K.
In August, his government sought approval from the Queen to suspend parliament for 5 weeks in early September, ostensibly to begin a fresh legislative season in mid-October with a renewed set of his Conservative party's priorities for government. Last week the Supreme Court had spent three days listening to arguments about that parliamentary suspension - formally known as a prorogation - after two lower courts, in Scotland and England, had reached opposing conclusions on the subject.
The decision will have significant constitutional implications, with the 11 Supreme Court justices potentially forced to enter the combative arena of Brexit politics with their judgment, however publicly unwilling they have been to do so. He insisted that his government "fully respects the law and fully respects the judiciary." Several of his ministers have previously hinted the government might seek to circumvent parliamentary legislation enacted earlier this month, that was intended to avoid an October 31st EU departure without a negotiated settlement.
