Downing Street Says

Asked what the reaction was to a High Court decision this morning granting Stuart Wheeler a judicial review, the PMS replied that the reaction had already been given by the Foreign Office. This decision simply meant there would be a hearing, and did not affect the outcome of the case, and the threshold for what constitutes an arguable case at the permission stage of the judicial review was low. We had seen similar cases brought by this before in respect to earlier treaties, so no great surprise, but those challenges in the past had all failed.
