Re: Correction and Apology
"The Attorney General has just stated clearly in Parliament that the Supreme Court does have the right to create a new law, and that they have done so."
The AG is mostly performing a backside covering exercise. He wants to have people believe that the Supreme Court made a law and therefore the advice he gave was correct at the time he gave it until the evil Supreme Court came along and changed the rules.
If you read the judgment you will see that their Lordships carefully spell out the laws and legal precedents that guided their decision. It's too tedious to repeat here but it was a thorough, forensic, examination of the facts and the conclusion was inevitable. As witness the fact that it was unanimous. There is no creation of a new law, there is simply the application of the best legal minds in the country to determine what constitutional law says on the subject of the power of the Prime Minister over Parliament. The law makes it clear that Parliament is sovereign.
You can read the judgment here. I recommend that you take time to read it. It is not overly long and it is written in clear, concise English as Supreme Court judgments always are. All of the objections raised here are considered and dismissed.
