They’re now in the middle of conference season and would normally be suspended for those three weeks. So the courts might rule that parliament resumes the previous session with no queens speech the Monday after the Tory conference closes but they’d still have been shut for four of the desired five weeks.

Surely court case will be brought, courts will say "we just had a ruling on this case, you can't suspend Parliament for political reasons" and they'll be back the next day?
Depends on whether or not the court ruling hinges on the length of the prorogation I guess?
Also if Parliament goes back you'd hope maybe they'd have the foresight to legally remove the power to prorogue indefinitely from the PM, as it's clearly open to abuse.
Painfully obvious that I am not a lawyer so maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't seem to troubling to me
