Technically, they've upheld the Scottish court's ruling. I'm sort of seeing the Scottish courts focused on it being illegal for Parliament not to be able to do its job. Two sides of a 2-dimensional object.
- pjc50 7y agoI think that since this is the English case the Scottish case now evaporates and doesn't get appealed separately, so we don't get to find out how that would have worked out.
- skissane 7y agoThey upheld the Scottish judgement, and overturned the English one. It was both cases. They reached the same conclusion as the Scottish case, but with somewhat different reasons. They avoided the issue about the PM’s motivations/purpose that the Scottish judgement focused on. Instead, they said the impact of the prorogation on Parliament’s ability to do its job made it unlawful, so they didn’t have to consider the PM’s motivations.
