LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government will seek to persuade Britain's top court this week that his decision to suspend Parliament until shortly before the date for Brexit was not illegal as Scottish judges concluded last week.

In a damning judgement, Scotland's highest court ruled last Wednesday that the suspension was unlawful and was an"egregious" attempt to stymie Parliament. Supporters of the legal challenges, a mixture of anti-Brexit campaigners and opposition lawmakers, want Parliament to be immediately recalled if the court backs them. Critics also say that if judges decide Mr Johnson misled the monarch, then he must resign.
