Rejected petition Arrest PM Boris Johnson for unlawfully proroguing parliament.

Rejected on

On 24/09/2019, the Supreme Court ruled that the advice given to the Queen to prorogue parliament for 5 weeks was “unlawful”. The prime minister who gave said advice should therefore be charged and placed under arrest for their “unlawful” acts.
