Prime Minister attempts Stymie Parliament

The court ruled that the Prime Minister was attempting to "Stymie Parliament" by suspending it for five weeks.

Boris Johnson’s suspension of the UK Parliament is unlawful, Scotland’s highest civil court has ruled.

A panel of three judges at the Court of Session found in favour of a cross-party group of politicians who were challenging the prime minister's move.

The judges said the PM was attempting to prevent Parliament holding the government to account ahead of Brexit.

A UK government appeal against the ruling will be head by the Supreme Court in London on Tuesday.

The Court of Session decision overturns an earlier ruling from the court, which said last week that Mr Johnson had not broken the law.

Opposition parties have called for Parliament to be immediately recalled, but government sources have told the BBC that the demands would be rejected.
