Johnson's Council on Queen Elizabeth II to interrupt the work or suspend parliament was illegal, invalid and has no effect”, said Brenda Hale, chairman of the Supreme Court, adding that 11 judges were unanimous in their decision.
“This was not a normal end of the works, and parliament stopped performing its” role, Hale said.
Johnson said he wanted to pave the way for a new government work programme at a new parliament session.
