Gina Miller/john Major court case lost.
Brexit: Decision to suspend Parliament ruled lawful by High Court
Businesswoman Gina Miller, who brought the case, will appeal against the ruling at the Supreme Court.
www.bbc.co.uk
A legal challenge over Prime Minister Boris Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament has been rejected in the High Court.
The case was brought by businesswoman Gina Miller, who argued the move was "an unlawful abuse of power".
Rejecting Ms Miller's case, Lord Justice Burnett said she could immediately appeal because of the important points of law at stake.
The appeal is expected to be heard at the Supreme Court on 17 September.
Ms Miller said she was "very disappointed with the judgment".
She added: "We feel it is absolutely vital that Parliament should be sitting. We are therefore pleased that the judges have given us permission to appeal to the Supreme Court, which we will be doing, and they feel that our case has the merit to be handed up."
A similar legal challenge heard at Edinburgh's Court of Session on Wednesday also failed.
The prime minister announced on 28 August he wanted to shut down Parliament, a process known as proroguing, for five weeks ahead of a Queen's Speech on 14 October - starting next week.
His political opponents argued at the time that Mr Johnson's aim was to avoid parliamentary scrutiny and to stop them passing legislation that would prevent the UK leaving the European Union without a deal on 31 October.
The UK government insisted this was not the case and said the aim of proroguing Parliament was to allow Mr Johnson to set out his legislative plans in the Queen's Speech while still allowing sufficient time for MPs to debate Brexit.
A bill designed to prevent a no-deal Brexit has since been passed by MPs and is expected to gain royal assent before the shutdown next week.
Do we know who is bank rolling Gina Miller?

I despair over the whole sorry affair to be honest.
I did from the start, and have truth be told, never had my hopes raised at any time from the start of the Referendum campaign to the current moment that it'd be a joy filled life of happiness with anything to do about Brexit.

In that case you don't understand the Tory voter. Unless they had a personal fetish for chickens and that put them off for life, then they wouldn't concern themselves with the right or wrong of the situation.

To be honest mate I've never thought about it. I suppose it's just that I consider myself British, rather than English. Whenever I'm asked to fill in a paper application that asks for your nationality, without thinking I put British. I have a British passport, not an English one. I get emotional when I hear bagpipes playing. I guess I'm just traditional. It's more to do with emotions rather than reason.
Having said that I do believe that people have a right to determine their own future, within reason of course. Scotland, NI and Wales have the right to hold periodical referendums on independence if they wish to. Scotland had one in 2014 and I would normally say another one now is too early. But should we leave the EU my view is that is sufficient reason to expedite another one.
If the vote is for Scotland, or indeed for NI or Wales, to leave, then that democratic vote should be respected. What happens next I have no idea. Negotiations would presumably then start and we would end up with our own mini version of Brexit. In fact it could arguably be worse than Brexit because, as far as I'm aware, there's no set procedure to follow. What would happen if we ended up with a no deal situation?. Would Scotland be kicked out of the CTA and Hadrian's wall rebuilt?lol
Obviously I jest, but I do fear that the dynamics of facilitating Scottish independence could well turn out to be just as complicated as Brexit has.
