Today the Supreme Count agreed that the advice given by the Prime Minister was unlawful. Lady Hale noted: “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.”
