The unconstitutionality of the Supreme Court’s prorogation judgment Empty The unconstitutionality of the Supreme Court’s prorogation judgment

Conclusion:

John Finnis wrote:30.So the Judgment is more a mistake than a victory for fundamental principle.    Its  consequences  will  be  far  indeed  from  “one-off ”,  or  even  “exceptional”.    No  doubt  the  next  Parliament  might  appropriately  exercise  its  authentic  law-making  sovereignty  to  reverse  the  Judgment’s  misuse  of  judicial  power.  But  legislation  on prorogation, or on the relations of Crown and Parliament more generally, or on the limits of justiciability, can do little to undo the damage done to the rule of law, and to our constitutional doctrine and  constitutional  settlement.    That  could  only  be  undone  by  a  change of heart, a reconsideration of what it is to exercise a truly judicial power.
