Only if he feels he didn't act in good faith and in accordance with the legal advice he received.
Thats going to be the blame game amongst them now - pleading ignorance and blaming bad advice. All the messengers are going to be shot - ditches will be full of them whilst the smarmy bastards at the top try and weasel out of things.
Some braincell is currently shouting over interviews outside the court with 'we love you Boris' & booing everyone.
This guy presumably wants an end to Europeans interfering with the powers of our Parliament....
The Govt's case was weak and they knew it - that was why they presented no evidence, no written statement , no ministerial witness - as John Major pointed out that was either because they had no case and as a result nobody from the Govt was prepared to perjure themselves.
Secondly their legal team concentrated on the argument 5 weeks wasn't unusual - to such an extent they were visibly rocked when one of the judges asked in that case what is to stop a PM for proroguing for a year or two years. They literally hadn't anticipated that question and so had no answer. Its speculated that the obvious answer would be that Parliament exists to call the PM to account but of course a Parliament that was just prorogued for two years can't do jack shit.
Ultimately if you consider those points they were always on a loser.
Maye we are seriously underestimating the incompetence of the Tory leadership. They prorogued to stop rebel anti-no deal legislation, it didn't because they allowed enough time for it to be enacted anyway- but the prorogation then went ahead completely unnecessarily. There is little doubt they would have recessed for the conferences in any case. Total stupidity.
