The stoppage of all parliamentary action is known as prorogation. On January 7, 2025, attorneys supported by the Justice Centre filed a Notice of Application challenging this ruling on behalf of Aris Lavranos and David MacKinnon. The applicants are asking the Federal Court to rule that Parliament has not been prorogued because the Governor General's recommendation to do so was illegal. Chief Justice Paul S. Crampton of the Supreme Court of the Federal Court ordered an expedited hearing after acknowledging the pressing, extraordinary, and compelling problems brought forth by this prorogation challenge. On February 3, 2025, the applicants' attorneys filed a Memorandum of Fact and Law with the Federal Court. On February 7, 2025, attorneys for the respondents filed a Memorandum of Fact and Law with the Federal Court.
