Gina millers case which she lost and is also going to appeal, had the judges justify the decision as Lord Doherty told the court: "In my view, the advice give in relation to the prorogation decision is a matter involving high policy and political judgement. This is political territory and decision making which cannot be measured against legal standards, but only by political judgements. Accountability for the advice is to Parliament and ultimately to the electorate, and not to the courts." https://www.politicshome.com/news/u...ohnson/news/106333/high-court-throws-out-gina
Looks like the Scots, and England and Wales cases are both heading to the Supreme Court. Does that Court apply Scots Law, England & Wales Law, or both?
One of the many. That Grayling was a central member of the Conservative government for the past fourteen years should give pause to everyone with a brain who voted for them. Grayling was The Shadow Leader of the House of Commons Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Shadow Secretary of State for Transport Shadow Home Secretary Department for Work and Pensions Lord Chancellor State for Justice Leader of the House of Commons Minister for Transport Its fair to say his performance in all these roles has been well below par, and in several instances a total disaster. I wonder what Tory voters think? How do they reconcile voting for a party that has complete twats in important positions, for over a decade - presumably without even realising or deliberately!
Corbyn depending on your view could be all of those things. But when compared to the petulant child clown who loses every issue, you do have to stop & wonder!
When you're talking about Grayling I would agree how on earth did he get any government post but I have to be honest, the possibility of Dianne Abbot as a future Home Secretary isn't exactly filling people with confidence either
Execellent way to promote rebellion and public uprising ; cumilating in Revolution if history books are to be believed.
Both. Fun fact - the Supreme Court, sitting as “The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council” also still hears appeals from certain Commonwealth countries, especially some parts of the West Indies*, and these include a couple of capital cases per year * One that most people will probably be aware of was the case of Joghee in 2017 which overturned/rectified decades of error in the law on joint enterprise.
Noobie can you ever discuss an issue without bringing in the "My Dads better than yours" into to play? Point of fact. Abbot has yet to be a total and complete failiure in five Ministerial roles over a period of ten plus years. Nor has she ever contracted a ferry company that has not ships, sailors or docking arrangements! Now she could do do so in the future but surely even you can accept that Grayling should never have been allowed to continue in these roles? If Abbot does become a Grayling-esque failiure, I expect she will be gone & quickly too. And rightly so.
This case opens a huge can of worms, and theres sure to be some unintended consequences... If Boris has any of the common sense he was born with left between his ears, he will reconvene Parliament and drop this foolish venture as fast as is humanly possible.
Isn't it amazing how both courts find in favour of the government who wants Brexit, and the Remoaners don't accept it so get the chance to go again and in the case to get the decision they want. I guess once the Supreme Court decision has been made in favour of remain it can't then be appealed as it would be against the establishment Remoaners you really couldn't make it up
I'm fairly certain -thanks to Radio4- that the Scots ruling currently takes precedent as it is a higher court.
Absolutely but may I suggest the old addage about throwing stones? otherwise it looks like you're saying you are allowed to complain against others but they can't complain about yours, cool
I dont get your point Today the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom usually has a minimum of two Scottish justices to ensure that some Scottish experience is brought to bear on Scottish appeals.[31] That’s 2 out of how many?
