Council leaders approve Supreme Court Appeal
Following careful consideration of the Court of Appeal judgement, Epping Forest District Council has announced its intention to instruct its legal team to proceed with an application to the Supreme Court for permission to appeal the Court of Appeal decision.
The decision to ask for permission was taken on Wednesday evening in consultation with group leaders.
Legal representatives for Epping Forest District Council have returned to the High Court for Directions on the hearing date for the full injunction which has been set for 15 to 17 October.
Home Office application for delay rejected
In a separate development at the same Directions Hearing, the Home Office was unsuccessful in its applications for a 6 week stay in the final injunction proceedings and a split hearing.
We would like to thank the Court for expediting these matters. It is in no one’s interest to delay the legal process. The sooner we get to a full resolution the better.
Spokesperson for Epping Forest District Council
