Originally posted by JohntheBike View PostIt's ironic that many talk of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, when Scotland and NI had different laws even before the devolved governments were created. Wales became part of England for legal purposes in the reign of Henry VIII, but Scotland and Ireland hadn't joined the Union by then and were allowed a certain level of autonomy as part of joining the Union.Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007.

Supreme Court challenge over PM's Parliament suspension - BBC News
I must add, that as with other cases, the judges would have read all the documents prior to the Hearing. The Hearing is just the last formality for the judges' decision. Most Judges would already have the verdict in the back of their minds.
It’s now emerged that the prime minister has not made a witness statement explaining why he advised the Queen to prorogue Parliament for five weeks.
Such a witness statement to court - had it emerged - would have been subject to the standard rules of being truthful - Lord Pannick notes that telling porkies in witness statements is an offence.Last edited by Paddy; 17 September 2019, 10:13."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

So, you think a Prime Minister should be able to prorogue Parliament for any reason, and duration, he/she deems appropriate?Comment
