Several Supreme Court justices turned on the lawyer for the government in the case over Boris Johnson’s decision to suspend Parliament, demanding a clearer explanation of what the prime minister would do if he lost the case.
Under pressure from judges, Richard Keen, a lawyer for the government, promised to file a written answer on how Johnson would abide by a decision against him. Justice Brian Kerr went further, pushing to discover if Johnson would recall lawmakers or attempt to suspend the legislature again.
