Peeps Judicial Review

[colin todd]

The long-awaited decision by the High Court in the Judicial Review action by campaigners, Cladag, against the Home Office re Government decision on PEEPS has now been published.

The bottom line of the judgement is this:

"This was essentially a political decision for the defendant to take and was not in breach of the requirements of public law and procedural fairness. It must have been desperately disappointing for the claimants and many others that the carefully considered PEEPs recommendations contained in the Phase 1 Report have not been implemented, but it was not an unlawful decision.
The claim is dismissed."
