The decision of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to suspend parliament was illegal and should be reversed. This is what the Scottish Supreme Court of Appeals said Wednesday. Johnson’s opponents, including Scottish nationalists, argue that his goal was to interfere with the efforts of MPs to prevent Britain from leaving the EU without an agreement.

“Since yesterday evening, we heard a number of alarming messages about the intentions of the British government and its disregard for the law,” said Joanna Cherry, a spokeswoman for the Scottish National Party. – And it is extremely important that the Supreme Court in Scotland – the highest court in the United Kingdom among those who have already decided on this issue – said that the suspension was illegal. This is an important message to Boris Johnson, Jacob Rhys-Mogg and their associates: in any case, the Scottish courts will not allow them to get away with the law.

The British government immediately stated that they intend to challenge this decision in the country’s Supreme Court.

The House of Commons was quite noisy before five weeks. At the last moment, a law was passed obliging the prime minister, if necessary, to ask the EU to reschedule the date of Brexit, despite the fact that Johnson said that he would never do it.
