The Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill became a constitutional dispute in January when the UK government took the unprecedented step of blocking it from receiving royal assent and becoming law.
Instead, he argued Mr Jack had"justified" grounds for using the order against the legislation, which seeks to simplify the process of legally changing gender.
Mr Jack also could not have"rationally" intervened in gender reform legislation prior to its passage through Holyrood due to"fundamental" amendments which were being proposed, Mr Johnston told the hearing, as he could not have known what the full implications of the bill would have been unless amended.
Ms Bain told the court on Tuesday that Mr Jack could have taken other measures, such as informing ministers of his intention to block the policy in advance, or holding an extensive debate in Westminster to scrutinise the block. "This is not one of those bills that it was so uncontentious where serious fundamental amendments would not be put forward."
