All you need to know from day one of Supreme Court independence referendum hearing
Judges in the UK's top court today heard evidence for and against Nicola Sturgeon's plan to hold a second independence referendum next year.
Court president Lord Reed warned those participating it could be "some months" before a decision was reached. Ahead of the 2014 referendum then Prime Minister David Cameron granted a Section 30 order which allowed Alex Salmond to hold a vote. "The court will require time after the hearing to prepare its judgement. The hearing is the tip of the iceberg. We also have more than 8,000 pages of written material to consider. Therefore, as usual, it's likely to be some months before we give our judgement."
She said she agreed with an earlier observation that this has become a “festering issue”, adding: “It’s an issue that I invite this court to finally resolve.” "This government is attempting to impose on people in the UK a programme that has not been placed before the people in an election but simply invented by a small number of Tory MPs.
