Has anyone with too much time on their hands checked how the European Court deals with such bureaucratic matters as making sure the court has the relevant papers before it? I think we should be told.
Belter, I dunno but presumably they are civil code lawyers and just have books of code rather than bundles we have in the oral / adversarial tradition (much better system)
Is the entirety of Blackstone chambers in there? I can see Tom de la Mare, Tom Hickman both in shot, we've got Eadie in play and Keen and Pannick yesterday, who else?
she was only after a chronology of what has happened in Parliament over this period running up to prorogation so, in her words "you can see how much time ..." so I am not sure that this is the same as an expectation of a chronology where, for example, a contractual dispute is being decided and the relative parties' steps in the dispute are important to understand.
" Other highlights ... included extended confusion over which bundles of paper the court was meant to be looking at, which sent all serving and former clerks into a cold sweat. "
[And large sections of ROF into ecstatic schadenfreude.]
"" Baroness Hale of Richmond, president of the Supreme Court, is already a cult figure among law students and practitioners (she has been compared to Beyoncé and featured in Vogue) but yesterday she broke into the mainstream as she calmly oversaw proceedings, dissected the theses before her and thanked the young woman who sorted out Bundlegate."
I love the idea that there's a DJ Shizzle My Supreme Nizzle who is working the mixer back there and when some second rater comes in with some guff about salt and the bench aren't saying bo slecta then it's dooowwwwwwn he goes.
I am enjoying sitting at my desk doing the Kids In the Hall* "Crushing your head" snippy fingers over the heads of all the Supreme Court Justices and members of Blackstone Chambers.
Here I am crushing your head Sir James Eadie. I am crushing your head. And you Brenda Hale. Crushing your head and your dragonfly. Crushing it. Snip. Snip. And you with your big head Kerr, I am crushing it. Snip.

I didn't get the point that the need for Queen's consent is solely an issue for Parliament.
Isn't it a question of fact, or legal interpretation, as to whether or not proposed legislation impacts the prerogative?
