It took the two judges just a matter of 10-to-15 minutes to reach a decision about the claim from the Lib Dems and the SNP that they should be allowed access to ITV's head-to-head debate between Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson.

The judges came back and said they would not agree to that – effectively they refused to even hear the judicial review.

They said ITV was not exercising a public function - it’s a private broadcaster, albeit regulated – and therefore could not be subject to a judicial review.

But they also said that if the two parties had a complaint about the programme, they had a way of complaining to Ofcom, the regulator.

Now that can only be done after the programme is broadcast – but the judges said that was a way the two parties could raise their objections.

They also said that the editorial judgement made by ITV was not irrational and perverse and that they did not want, as judges, to get in the way of an editorial matter for a major broadcaster.

So the debate goes ahead tomorrow.

The full reasoning behind the judges' decision have yet to be given to the court - that will probably come tomorrow.

The Lib Dems, for one, are going to take a closer look before deciding what to do next.
