The Supreme Court's ruling against Prime Minister Boris Johnson is unprecedented, a lawyer central to the case has told CNN.
Gina Miller, the lawyer who successfully appealed the High Court verdict against her legal challenge to Johnson's prorogation, told Bianca Nobilo she was "in shock" at the unanimous, 11-0 decision.
She added she was “in a second phase of shock that the Prime Minister is now trying to downplay this.”
"No prime minister has ever used their office to do this ... no prime minster has illegally advised the Queen," Miller said.
"This is absolutely fundamental to our constitution ... he cannot -- or in fact, any prime minster cannot -- just close down or shut up parliament, just because parliament disagrees with them."
"The case was not about Brexit, it was not about politics, it was about the fact that he was putting himself above the law, and the courts have found that he cannot do that."
