No one really knows. Even if the SC says the PM's advice was unlawful, it doesn't necessarily mean prorogation is a nullity. Seems that the Scottish Ct may have overrreached itself and acted contrary to Bill of Rights.
#ProrogationCase question -- what happens to the order made by the Scottish court that the suspension is null and has no affect, if the Supreme Courts declares, as Lord Pannick asks them to do, that the PM acted unlawfully and goes no further than that?

I see, thank you Edward.

The remedy issue is theoretically v complex but common sense will prevail *if* the SC says the PM's advice to Qn was unlawful. In reality, the prorogation will *have* to be undone somehow but this will probably be worked out at a political level.

"We will have to decide...what the consequences of that answer are" (Hale, at 1.12.25). Pannick asked for an "indication" (58.30); maybe "in stages/leave to apply"; and said if PM acted unlawfully and Parl sits, legal challenge impossible (1.04.40). https://www.supremecourt.uk/watch/uksc-2019-0192/190919-pm.html …
