Lord Pannick is opening for Gina Miller, explaining to the court why they are bringing the challenge against the PM's power to prorogue Parliament for up to five weeks. In the last 40 years, Parliament has never been prorogued for longer than three weeks, he says.
In most cases, it has only been prorogued (the ending of a Parliamentary session) for a week or less, he adds.
This is the heart of the case. Proroguement would curtail the time available to MPs to discuss, debate and bar what to do as the EU Brexit deadline looms.
