[[link removed]]Dear John,

Today’s Supreme Court judgment is a victory for the rule of law. It’s a reminder
that in this country no one is above the law and our judges will hold the
powerful to account without fear or favour.

Whatever you think about the decision to prorogue Parliament and whatever you
think about Brexit, this is our constitutional system working exactly as it
should – the judiciary independently scrutinising the actions of the Government.
Accountability in action.

The UK does not have a written constitution, but it does have constitutional
principles. Principles of fairness, open justice, individual liberty,
Parliamentary sovereignty and Parliamentary accountability. These principles
protect all our rights and freedoms, and today the Supreme Court has brought
them to life once again.

We will now watch to see if the Prime Minister makes a public statement that he
will abide by his legal obligations – those made plain by today’s judgment and
those under the law requiring him to seek a Brexit extension.

Earlier this month we launched legal case against the Prime Minister following
reports he intends to flout this law. Until the Prime Minister confirms he will
act lawfully, our case will proceed, relying on the same fundamental principles
that the Supreme Court invoked today.

Thank you for your support in these extraordinary times,

Martha Spurrier



Director
