Re: Damning...

"While I do not believe prorogation was the democratic way forward, the precedent of involving the legal system to resolve a constitutional matter will likely cause issues in the future as the Government no longer has the final say if a (private) legal challenge is brought and successfully argued in court. "

I don't think so. A key part of the legal argument was that Parliament couldn't sort itself out because it had been prorogued. The court's intervention to restore Parliament was therefore required in order that it (the court) did not, through *inaction*, get involved in politics.
