Boris Johnson 'abused his power' to silence Parliament, court told | NickdMiller

Pannick said if it hadn’t been prorogued, Parliament could have enacted more Brexit legislation, commissioned reports from its committees, and kept a close eye on Brexit negotiations through its powers to ask questions of government ministers.

A prorogation “should not be impeached in any court”, he said. It was a prerogative power that had been exercised many times in the past “for political reasons and for extensive periods of time” – for example in 1930 when Ramsay MacDonald did not have a majority in the House of Commons and prorogued “clearly so the executive could avoid unnecessary scrutiny”.“The legal limits on power for the executive are set by parliament, not by the courts,” he said.
