Our top story 11 judges in the uks highest court will begin hearing two appeals today to decide whether borisjohnsons decision to suspend parliament in the run up to brexit was legal. The suspension has so far been challenged in two separate cases, with each resulting in differentjudgements. Heres our legal correspondent, Clive Coleman. Constitutional law, dry and dusty . Not a bit of it. A Prime Minister stands accused of misleading the monarch and undermining parliament. The Supreme Court will have to resolve two dramatically contradictoryjudgements. Scotlands Higher Civil Court ruled that the Prime Ministers advice to the queen to prorogue was motivated by the proper purpose of stymieing or frustrating parliament during critical weeks before brexit, but the high court in london ruled that proroguing was a political matter and there were no legal standards against which a court could judge it. So the Supreme Court will have to decide firstly whether proroguing or suspending parliament is a matter for the courts and if it is, theyll have to give a ruling as to whether that advice given by borisjohnson to the queen was unlawful or not, and that will determine whether parliament can sit again in the days leading up to the 14th of october when the suspension was due to be lifted and during that period, therefore, whether they can legislate and consider brexit matters. Clive coleman, bbc news. Borisjohnson has not committed himself to recalling parliament if the Supreme Court rules the suspension unlawful. Our Political CorrespondentJessica Parker is in westminster. Whats the Prime Minister been saying . I know weve been talking quite a bit on this issue, but what has borisjohnson been bit on this issue, but what has Boris Johnson been saying . Bit on this issue, but what has Boris Johnson been saying . He has previously insisted the suspension of parliament is about suspending it in the run up to a queens speech to allow him to set out a new legislative agenda. Today, that will be going to the highest court in the country. What will the government do if the Supreme Court agrees with the Scottish Court . That question was put by laura kuenssberg. Scottish Court . That question was put by laura kuenssberg. I have the greatest respect for the judiciary and the independence of the judiciary. It is admired around the world. And i think the best thing i can say, having said that, is to wait and see what they say. Would you be ready to recall parliament if thats what the court said you should do . I think the best thing i could do is wait and see what is said by the courts. No great commitment from the pm, but if the government were to be recalled, many mps would come back pretty determined to hold borisjohnsons feet to the fire over brexit. It could hugely impact the way Boris Johnson gets to run his government in the short few weeks ahead. Meanwhile, you will have noticed many of the front pages carrying that moment of that empty podium yesterday in luxembourg. Of course we know borisjohnson pulled out of the press conference after brexit books because of noisy protesters, but the luxembourg pm went ahead with the press conference, using the opportunity to lay into the governments approach to brexit. Some will suggest it was grandstanding on Xavier Bettels part, and others that it is alljust in the lead up to the deadline. If you want to know more about how the Supreme Court operates, Clive Coleman has filmed a short explanation, which you can find on the bbc news website.
