It's not certain to be overturned but the High Court were pretty clear in dismissing the Gina Miller case last week by stating that this was not a matter for the courts, so the Supreme Court will take that into consideration along with the fact the the Court of Session in Scotland initially dismissed the parliamentarians' case before their successful appeal.Quote:

I agree. I was just pointing out that there are a lot of conflicting views for them to weigh up, although yesterday's appeal decision undoubtedly gives them a lot more to think about. By rejecting the Government's appeal they would be opening up a new political chapter whereby any controversial government decision is likely be challenged in the courts so that may weigh on their minds. On that basis my instinct is that they'll overturn yesterday's decision but I really have no idea how it will play out.Quote:

He doesn't call into question the integrity of the judges himself but he says that many people up and down the country ARE questioning them, which is true.
It's the classic way of saying something (judges are interfering in politics for biased reasons) while weaseling out of taking responsibility for saying it. Trump does it all the time.Quote:

These people say we must leave the EU so 'not to be ruled by foreign courts', but are outraged when UK courts make a ruling. No doubt The Daily Mail has called the judges 'enemies of the people'.Quote:

Now the High Court in Belfast muddies the waters further by dismissing a No Deal legal challenge:

Barely anyone looks at the Scotsman these days. Sales are negligible and it's run by a skeleton staff out of a single floor office at Orchard Brae. Sad times for a once influential Scottish institution.Quote:

I'll have to take a look at it, always seen it as right leaning in its editorial content.Quote:

I expect you are being the Devil's Avocado ... but, nah. I saw the clip live and my impression was that he was being a weaselly *****bag.Quote:

I read somewhere that the Supreme court can hear an appeal of a decision by the court of session, but the appeal has be considered on the basis of Scottish law? And the fact the 'lie' was told in Scotland also weighs heavily on the basis of the appeal?Quote:

Mind you, on Tuesday they're supposed to be considering the English and Scottish cases (and possibly the NI one as well) so not sure how that works?
The fact that the lie was told in Scotland shouldn't matter though. The Westminster parliament is the Union parliament (no laughing at the back) so it is theoretically subject to both Scots and English law.
Seriously.Quote:

One court decision is all it took to show how they really see the union.
