The highest court in Egypt has ruled to overturn a parliament order by President Mursi to reconvene parliament, after a military council dissolved it last month.
Thousands of Egyptians gathered in Tahrir Square to protest against the decision.
MPs met shortly for the first time today before the speaker adjourned the sitting.
Speaker Saad al-Katatni said that by holding the session, MPs were not going against the dissolution ruling "but looking at a mechanism for the implementation of the ruling of the respected court. There is no other agenda today".
The MPs supported Mr Katatni’s proposal to seek legal advice from a higher court on how to implement the court’s ruling.
Some liberal MPs boycotted the assembly because Mr Mursi's "violation of the Supreme Court's decision" represented a "challenge to the legitimacy of his own rule", as Mr Mursi had taken his oath of office in front of the court.
