Home Office wins right to challenge Palestine Action’s terror ban appeal

Court of appeal ruling means Yvette Cooper can try to block move by protest group to have its proscription overturned

The Home Office has won a legal decision which means it can attempt to block a move by Palestine Action to have its ban under terror laws overturned.

The latest legal twist in the battle between the government and the protest group – now proscribed as a terror organisation - saw the court of appeal rule that Yvette Cooper can challenge the decision to grant a judicial review of the organisation’s proscription that was due to be heard in November.
