German Federal Supreme court: suspension of the Parliament was illegal, judges rule

Mar 25,2023 2:10 am

Boris Johnson to suspend the decision of Parliament for five weeks, was unlawful, was decided by the BGH.

the judge said it was wrong to stop the MPs implementation of the tasks in the run-up to the Brexit deadline on December 31. October.

The watch, which has faced calls to resign, said he "profoundly disagrees" with the decision, but would respect "" it.

The Labour conference terminated early according to The Judgment , and the MPs return to Westminster ready for the Parliament to reconvene on Wednesday.

A senior government official said the Prime Minister was talking to The Queen after the decision of the Supreme court, but did not reveal The Details of The Conversation .

It Comes after the court ruled that it was impossible to conclude that there had been any Reason ", let alone a good Reason to advise Her Majesty to prorogue Parliament for five weeks".

Mr Johnson, returns to London from New York on Wednesday, also chaired a 30-minute phone call with his Cabinet.

A source told the BBC that the leader of The Commons , Jacob Rees-Mogg said to the other Ministers on The Call that The Action by the court had a "constitutional coup".

'Undeterred passed' The Prime Minister that he wanted to outline his policy in a "Queen's Speech on 14 October, and to do that it must be started for the Parliament to be prorogued and a new session.

But critics said that he had tried, examined to stop MPs his Brexit plans and the suspension was far longer than necessary.

During a speech in New York , the PM said he "refused to be discouraged," from "is an exciting and dynamic agenda", and to do that, he needed to have a "Queen's Speech.

The ruling does not prevent to keep him proroguing again, as long as it is not the Parliament of the performance of his duties "without reasonable Justification ".

A No 10 source said the Supreme Court had made "a serious mistake in extending its scope to political questions", and "it clear that his reasons [were] connected with the parliamentary disputes, and the schedule for the" Brexit.

But the Supreme court's President Lady Hale stressed in The Judgment that the case is "about when and under what conditions" the UK leave the EU - it was about the decision to suspend Parliament .

She Said : "to advise The decision of Her Majesty to prorogue Parliament was illegal, because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of Parliament to perform its constitutional functions without reasonable Justification . "

Lady Hale said that the unanimous decision of the 11 judge meant Parliament had effectively prorogued not - the decision was null and of no effect.

speaker of The Commons John Bercow said MPs needed to get back "in view of the explicit judgment," and he was "instructed to prepare The House of Commons authorities. for the resumption of the business" from 11:30 BST on Wednesday.

He is the Prime Minister not to forward said questions, but it would be "in full" for urgent questions, Ministerial statements and applications for emergency debates.

Where will this leave Boris Johnson ? Shortly before the inscrutable Lady Hale , with the giant diamond spider on her lapel, says Boris Johnson to Pinocchio, this judgment is just as bad for the government, as It Comes .

Mr Johnson is, As Is clear, ready-to-run a General election campaign that pits the Parliament against the people. And So What , according to this view of The World , if that includes the judge as part of the establishment, in His Way ?

But there is a difference between unscrupulous and ruthless.

, and the size And strength of this judgment cannot be dismissed lightly, as some pesky judges sticking their nose in.

.

as a reaction to The Judgment , Mr Johnson said it was "an unusual judgment", and added: "it is the prerogative of The agreement has been used for centuries without this kind of challenge.

"There are a lot of people that basically want to stop This Country come from the EU, and we have a Parliament that is unable to be prorogued, and do not want to have a choice. I think it's time to get things forward. "

The PM to get an offer was "not much easier, with this kind of things in Parliament or the courts", but insisted the UK would leave on 31 October.

head of the Labour Party , Jeremy Corbyn was due to the proximity of the Labour Party conference in Brighton with a speech on Wednesday, but it has brought us to Tuesday afternoon so he could return to Westminster.

He said to the cheering delegates: "Tomorrow, the Parliament will return. The government will be made responsible for what it has done. Boris Johnson has the Country fooled. These non-elected Prime Minister should resign now. "

lawyers for the government had argued that the decision to prorogue was for Parliament , not the courts.

However, the judges did not agree, to decide, unanimously, was "justiciable," and it was "No Doubt that the courts have the jurisdiction for the decision about the existence and limits of a prerogative power".

The court also criticised the length of the suspension, with Lady Hale , who say that it is "impossible for us to conclude, on The Evidence that has been brought before us, that there is no Reason - let alone a good Reason to advise Her Majesty to prorogue Parliament for five weeks".

A spokeswoman for the Prosecutor's office said the government had acted "in good faith and in the belief that their approach was both legal and constitutional".

"These are complex issues, about the seniors and lawyers is characterized at odds," a statement said.

", The Divisional Court led by Lord Chief Justice unanimously with the government of the legal position, as the Outer House in Scotland.

"We are disappointed that in the end, the Supreme court took a different view. We respect the decision of the Supreme Court. "

The damage is doneWow! This is legal, constitutional and political dynamite.

It is worth only a breath, and when You consider that a Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was the highest court in the Country , have acted illegally in shutting down the sovereign body, in our Constitution , the Parliament in a time of national crisis.

The court like to say, Boris Johnson , had done a wrong motive stymieing and frustrating parliamentary control, but the damage is, he was found to have acted illegally and stopped to do Parliament , its work without any legal Justification .

And the court lifted its advice to The Queen , and The Order in Council", which officially suspended Parliament

This means, the Parliament was never prorogued, and so we assume that the deputies are free in The Commons .

This is The Most serious example yet of independent judges, through The Mechanism of judicial review to stop the government in their tracks, because what it has done is unlawful.

You Were still so powerful, The Law is above You - even if You are the Prime Minister .

Unprecedented, exceptional, groundbreaking - it's hard to overestimate the constitutional and political significance of today's decision.

What was to be considered by the court? Gina Müller led activists against the suspension of Parliament The decision after a three-day hearing at the Supreme court last week that the two callings - One from activist and businesswoman Gina Miller , the second by the government.

Mrs Miller an appeal against the English High Court decision was that the agreement was "purely political" and not a matter for the courts.

The government's appeal against the decision of the Scottish Court of Session that the agreement was "unlawful" and had "stymie" Parliament .

The court ruled in favour of Mrs Müller's appeal and against the government.

How to respond to the parties involved in the case? The SNP is Joanna Cherry the PM said-position to Speak, "unsustainable" before the court, Mrs Miller said the decision "speaks volumes".

"The Prime Minister must in the morning to open The Doors of Parliament . MPs must be brave and courageous and kept this unscrupulous government is responsible," she added.

The SNP Joanna Cherry , the leader of the Scottish case, called on Mr Johnson to withdraw as a result of the ruling.

"The highest court in the United Kingdom , has unanimously determined that the Council, prorogue the Parliament , his advice to Her Majesty , The Queen , was illegal," She Said .

"is His position untenable, and he should have the courage to, for once, do the enter decent, and back. "

Former Prime Minister Sir John Major - One of the sponsors of the agreement, in response, said it gave him "no pleasure in a fight against a government, and the Prime Minister of My Own party".

"Not a Prime Minister must always re-treatment of the monarch, or the Parliament in this way. "

What about the other politicians? Mr Johnson was supported by US President Donald Trump at a joint press conference at the United Nations in New York .

"I'll tell You , I don't know him well, he is everywhere," said Mr. Trump, to terminate after a U.S. reporter asked the Prime Minister whether he was going to.
