The ruling is that the advise given to the Queen was at fault as the court in Scotland found it wasn't the genuine advise.

In simple terms they are saying that behind the scenes Johnson has said "Let's close Parliament and shut the Commons up for a while" but gone to the Queen and said "Let's close Parliament down so we can have a Queen's speech.

I find it interesting that the courts in Scotland seem to be able to mind read what was in Johnson's mind at the time he spoke to the Queen, so would be surprised if it carried through the Supreme Court next week.
