AC-2025-LON-003557 - [2025] EWHC 2687 (Admin)

As in the CSG case, I explained at the start of the Teams hearing that it was my provisional intention to list this case for a resumption in open court at the Royal Courts of Justice, on the morning of Friday 17 October 2025. I am delivering this judgment at that resumption hearing. This course of action was supported by both advocates. There were two potential reasons for having a resumption hearing. They were the same as explained in the judgment in CSG at §§7-10. In the event, I was able to give sufficiently full reasons after announcing the ruling in this case. So the resumption is to promote open justice and hand-down this judgment, alongside the judgment in CSG. There are two common concerns: see §§8-9 below.
