The decision could have wide-ranging political ramifications for Brexit, and Johnson, who is attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaks during the Climate Action Summit at the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 23, 2019.Britain's highest court ruled Tuesday that Prime Minster Boris Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament for five weeks was unlawful.
Johnson has previously said the move to suspend Parliament until Oct. 14 was routine and not related to Brexit. He has refused to say whether he would resign if he is found to have broken the law, or will seek to shut down Parliament again."Parliament has had three years to discuss this issue – and will be able to come back and discuss Brexit after the European Council on October the 17 and 18,”Johnson told reporters traveling with him to the U.N.
Johnson is outspoken Brexit advocate who is willing to leave the EU without a deal if necessary. He has been at odds with Parliament, which has passed a law requiring the government to seek an extension to the Brexit deadline if no Brexit deal is reached by Oct. 19. He has vowed not to do that, though he says the government will obey the law.
The suspension of Parliament sparked several legal challenges, to which lower courts have given contradictory rulings. England’s High Court said the move was a political rather than a legal matter, but Scottish court judges ruled that Johnson acted illegally.Boris Johnson tells Mike Pence the British aren't 'keen' on chlorinated chicken, wants Americans to eat more haggis
