8:40Now PlayingBritain’s Supreme Court says it is aiming to hand down its judgment in a landmark legal challenge to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s suspension of Parliament early next week.
The country’s top court must decide whether Johnson broke the law when he shut down Parliament for five weeks until Oct. 14.
He says it was a routine measure, but opponents claim he was trying to stop lawmakers scrutinizing his Brexit plans.
At the end of a three-day hearing, Brenda Hale, president of the Supreme Court, said the court would give its ruling “as soon as it humanly can.”
She said the 11 judges hoped to rule “early next week.”
If the government loses, Johnson could be forced to recall Parliament.
