Gina Miller Court Case.

[saintpeter48]

Just who is paying for this, is it her or is it coming out of the public purse?

[Mamyalynne]

//Anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller has as filed an urgent application for a legal challenge to stop Prime Minister Boris Johnson's "cynical and cowardly" plan to prorogue parliament.

"Whilst prorogation is an acceptable UK constitutional practice, no prime minister in modern history has attempted to use it in such a brazen manner," Ms Miller wrote on a fundraising website set up fund the urgent application to the high court for a judicial review. //

[THECORBYLOON]

She has list her case but an Appeal has been allowed and will be heard on 17.9.19 at the Supreme Coury.

The Appeal in the Inner House is yet to be decided but if need be, their decision could also be heard by the Supreme Court.

[Peter Pedant]

she is
it wont cast you a penny

you are fixated by the idea if the court case is particularly stupid then you must be paying for it.... it is and you dont

I think it is going to fail at the first hurdle
on the facts submitted, there is no conceivable cause of action(*)

this - in the good old days of forms of action(*) ( went out of the window in the great reforms of 1835(*)) - it will be non-suited(*)

(the forms of action are dead but rule us from their graves (*))

(*) what all dey den OR when all dat den ?

Please excuse the typos.

Crowdfunded.
Members of the public making donations.

[Peter Pedant]

Jesus all money for the lawyers

high court to supreme ct ( Hse of Lords to you and me)
missed out the appeal court and is called a leap frogging procedure

special application need and money for the writ and application of course

I should be a legal commentator
I do not understand why I am not one already on AB by public acclaim

[New Judge]

"Whilst prorogation is an acceptable UK constitutional practice, no prime minister in modern history has attempted to use it in such a brazen manner,"

She must have forgotten that Nice Mr Major (either that or she wasn't old enough to care). He did precisely the same thing in 1997. Mind you he did so for a far more noble reason - that of preventing the publication and discussion of a damning report that would discredit some of the "Honourable" members of the HoC. Far greater justification than trying to facilitate the wishes of 17m of the electorate.

[ABerrant]

"I should be a legal commentator..."

Heaven help us!

"supreme ct ( Hse of Lords to you and me)"

The Supreme Court was established in 2009 to transfer judicial authority away from the Appellate Committee of The House of Lords and is explicitly separate from both Government and Parliament.

The first Justices remain(ed) Members of the House of Lords, but are unable to sit and vote in the House. All new Justices appointed after October 2009 have been directly appointed to The Supreme Court on the recommendation of a selection commission.

// Mr Major did precisely the same thing in 1997 [Proroguing]. Mind you he did so for a far more noble reason - that of preventing the publication and discussion of a damning report that would discredit some of the "Honourable" members of the HoC. //

Nice story except it does ignore the fact that Major had little choice to call the election when he did. His 5 years were up.
He had to call the election when he did by law. It did delay the Report into Hamilton and Cash for Questions, but that didn’t help Major either because Hamilton was resoundly thrashed in Tatton by the journalist Martin Bell.

Gromit, Not strictly true he prematurely prorogued parliament.
//Mr Hughes said: “The Prime Minister yesterday made the uniquely personal decision not only to have a general election on May 1 and to dissolve Parliament on April 8 but that Parliament should be prorogued and sent away this Friday.

“One of the reasons for that decision is that the Prime Minister knows that the report of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards on cash for questions will be ready on Monday or Tuesday.//

Whoever "funded" it they have lost their dosh. The High Court kicked it into touch.

//The High Court has rejected a legal appeal launched by anti-Brexit lawfare activist Gina Miller and supported by former Prime Minister John Major, after they attempted to block Boris Johnson from proroguing Parliament this month//

[youngmafbog]

Probably funded by the likes of Soros

"she is
it wont cast you a penny"

So all costs, not just Court ones that this ridiculous woman has incurred will be covered? I suspect not.

[THECORBYLOON]

TOGO, the Supreme Court will hear the appeal on the 17th of September.

[Togo]

So Boris prorogues on Friday the 13th(like the sound of that) until The Queen's speech on 14th Oct. Sorted.

[fender62]

id like to know here real agenda, her altruism about parliament and law i find...or think there is more going on, what does she get out of all this.

[dannyk13]

She strikes me a just another publicity seeker who enjoys being in the limelight.

[Togo]

She gets to keep her "job" at the institute, and her Paris residence, all paid for by Soros.

[fender62]

she seems the type who, if we left the eu, would again try and reverse it...soros mmm ? as was mentioned publicity seeker, has to be seen to be doing something to validate her job, whatever that is, zealot loony.

[fender62]

perhaps in the end she will join up with steve bray.. and howl

I honestly can’t decide if Major’s proroguing was sinister or not.

He had to call an election before 9th April, and Parliament was dissolved on 8th April. Major called it on Monday 17 March 1997, and Parliament closed on the Friday. ensuring the formal campaign would be unusually long, at six weeks.

In 2017 18 April, MPs voted by two-thirds majority to trigger an early general election. A proclamation outlining the date of the election and dissolution was announced on 25 April 2015, and Parliament was dissolved on 3 May 2017.

A similar amount of time.
