CA-2025-001983 - [2025] EWCA Civ 1311

A claim for judicial review and supporting documents were sent to the court late on the evening of Friday 27 June 2025. The claim sought judicial review of the decision to add Palestine Action to the list of organisations in Schedule 2 to the Act, the decision to lay draft statutory instruments before each House of Parliament, and the decision to bring any statutory instrument approved by Parliament into law. Ms Ammori sought permission to advance eight grounds of challenge to the lawfulness of any order adding Palestine Action to the list of proscribed organisations on Schedule 2 to the Act. Ms Ammori also made an application for interim relief to restrain the Secretary of State from making the proscription order or, if made before the hearing, to suspend its effect.

The order was laid in draft before each House of Parliament on Monday 30 June 2025. The draft order would add Palestine Action (together with two other unconnected organisations) to the list of proscribed organisations. The order was debated in, and affirmed by, each House (the House of Commons on 2 July 2025 and the House of Lords on 3 July 2025). The order was made at some time on 4 July and came into force 5 July 2025.
