Re: Regardless of which side of the fence you are on.
It has always been the job of the courts to interpret and apply the law, taking into account Parliament's intentions. The ruling is unusual and I was very surprised by it, but I've read the whole thing and it makes perfect sense. Prerogative power is residual and cannot be used to usurp the power of Parliament to hold the government to account. This, by the way, has nothing to do with leaving the EU. If Parliament agrees to leave without a deal, that's that. Whatever happens, Parliament must approve it.
