    The Supreme Court will decide whether Boris Johnson’s proroguing (or suspending) of Parliament can be considered by the courts.

    If it decides it is not able to consider the matter, the case falls and the suspension stands. If it decides it can be considered, the court is expected to judge whether the suspension was lawful.
