JUST IN: U.K. Supreme Court rules that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's suspension of Parliament was unlawful.
The U.K. Supreme Court has ruled that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's move to suspend Parliament was unlawful in a historic judgement Tuesday.
The Supreme Court Judge Lady Brenda Hale announced the judgement at the Supreme Court in London Tuesday morning, saying the prorogration had the effect of frustrating the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justifications. She declared the prorogation was now"void and of no effect," and that Johnson's advice to the Queen was"unlawful.
Two court cases were then brought to challenge the suspension of Parliament which, after various appeals, reached the highest court in the land last week. Now the court has ruled this was illegal. The Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow who presides over debates in Parliament said lawmakers would be returning to work as soon as possible.
