We'll hear at noon if Court of Session decides to issue an order making Boris Johnson liable for 'frustrating' Benn Act

Order could bar him from:

* Sending 2nd letter telling EU to ignore request

* Delaying sending letter

* Encouraging other member states to veto extension
If Boris Johnson was to ignore such an order, he could ultimately be held to be criminally liable and face proceedings for contempt of court or misconduct in a public office
Decision likely to be appealed by whoever loses at Inner Court

There's also a petition for the court *itself* to sign and sent A50 extension letter in event Johnson refuses

Petition calls for the court to exercise nobile officium - where the court itself offers legal remedy
