		</div><p>A legal bid to challenge the suspension of parliament has succeeded at the appeal court in Edinburgh, with judges ruling British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s prorogation of parliament was “unlawful”.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>A group of around 70 parliamentarians had appealed against a ruling by a judge at the court that Boris Johnson’s prorogation of Parliament is lawful.</p>
<p>Judge Lord Doherty originally dismissed a challenge against the suspension – which went ahead in the early hours of Tuesday – at the Court of Session last Wednesday, saying it is for politicians and not the courts to decide.</p>
<p>But three judges of the Inner House, the supreme civil court in Scotland, disagreed with Lord Doherty’s ruling.</p>
<p>The UK Government plans to appeal against the latest ruling to the Supreme Court.</p>
<p>SNP MP Joanna Cherry QC, who was among the cross-party group of politicians that brought the action, tweeted: “All 3 judges in Scotland’s Highest court of appeal rule (prorogation) unlawful.</p>
<p>“Huge thanks to all our supporters (and) our fantastic legal team who have achieved the historic ruling.”</p>

<p>The supreme court has already scheduled an emergency hearing on both the Scottish and English cases for next Monday, alongside a third challenge brought in the courts in Northern Ireland.</p>
<p>There were chaotic scenes in the Parliament when Mr Johnson called for the five-week recess.</p>
<p>The five-week suspension includes a three-week period that would typically be recess anyway, during which the Liberal Democrat, Labour and Conservative party conferences are held, but is nevertheless longer than usual.</p>
