Summary
The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the Scottish government cannot hold an independence referendum without the Westminster government's consent. The UK government has argued that the 2014 referendum was a once-in-a-generation opportunity, and has accused the SNP of failing to give clear answers to key questions in an independent Scotland.
