Government cabinet ministers say this issue is not a matter of courts, but critics believe the prime minister's decision was meant to limit MPs' control of Brex plans.
If the court ruling, which is expected to be taken at 10 and 30 minutes local time (11 and 30 minutes in our country), is against Prime Minister Johnson, MPs can return to the assembly immediately.
Government officials have said they will respect the court's decision. However, the prime minister has refused to rule out the possibility of rescinding the work of the assembly if the court ruling is against him.
Asked whether he would resign in the event of his opposition to his ruling by the Supreme Court, he said: “will wait and see what judgment is”, adding that the government fully respects law and justice system.
The Supreme Court will first assess whether the assembly's performance is a court case and if it is, then decide whether Prime Minister Johnson's decision was legitimate, writes “BBC”
