Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion

Late into the discussion, that's the trouble with working for a living . . .

Anyway:

Lady Hale said: "The court is bound to conclude therefore that the decision to advise Her Majesty to prorogue was unlawful because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions.""

I don't get this at all, surely ANY proroguement (is that a word? ) of Parliament has the effect of "frustrating or preventing the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions"

any good lawyers on here?
