In a landmark blow to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the UK's top court on Tuesday ruled in a landmark ruling that its decision to suspend Parliament before Brexit was illegal. Johnson earlier this month suspended or prorogued Parliament for 5 weeks. He said that this was done for the Maharani's speech in order to outline the policies of his new government.
Opposition MPs and several members of Johnson's own Conservative Party have accused him of trying to avoid parliamentary scrutiny in this round of instability ahead of the October 31 Brexit deadline. Johnson's decision was challenged in the British High Court by Gina Miller, an anti-Brexit activist of Indian origin. The High Court had sent it to the top court. Lady Brenda Hale, the head of the apex court, said, "Her decision to advise the Queen to expire the Parliament session was illegal."
He said, "This had a profound impact on the foundations of our democracy." He said that the unanimous decision of 11 judges meant that Parliament was not prorogued. This means Johnson's decision has been neutralized. The judges said that now the Speaker of the House of Commons and the House of Lords will decide the next step. The decision is a major setback for Johnson, who is currently in the United States to attend the United Nations General Assembly. He had said that courts should not interfere in such political matters. Downing Street said she is currently studying the decision.
Miller obliged former Prime Minister Terija May to seek parliament's approval before the Article 50 was enacted in March 2017, regarding the UK's deadline to secede from the European Union (EU), thus making history a name Had registered In reference to his latest legal victory, he said, "Today is not a victory for any person or purpose. It is a victory for parliamentary sovereignty, division of rights and independence of our British courts. '
He said, 'The important thing is that today's system confirms that we are residents of a country governed by law and order. A law to which everyone, even the prime minister, is accountable. ”Miller said the historic verdict meant that the Parliament session was on and it was never passed. He said, "I request the MPs to return to work immediately."
