Legal blow to Catalan vote - FT.com:

 Spain’s constitutional court has dealt a blow to the Catalan push for independence with a ruling that has nullified the “declaration of sovereignty” issued by the regional parliament last year.

It also made clear that the court would strike down any attempt to hold an independence referendum, which the Catalan government has promised for this year.
