Court Hearing Delayed on Lawsuit Against UK Govt Lockdown

Our legal challenge against the Government delayed by a further month – due to a Government lawyer being on holiday. We had been scheduled to go ahead on September 23, with the court having moved the hearing forward from the original date of September 28.

But one of the Government’s 11-strong team is holiday on that date, meaning it has now been moved back to October 29. The availability of suitably senior judges to hear the case on alternative dates was also a factor.

As you know, the appeal was ordered to be heard by Lord Justice Hickinbottom who said that the legal challenge…

“potentially raises fundamental issues concerning the proper spheres for democratically-accountable Ministers of the Government and judges.”

We are all naturally incredibly frustrated that the hearing will be delayed, especially given Lord Justice Hickinbottom’s direction that the case needed to be heard quickly. The case is of the utmost importance to the entire nation and we believe that further delays only highlights the Government’s inability to face up to its decisions.

The better news is that the delay will mean that the appeal will be held in person, rather than virtually as all previous stages have been.

We have seen in recent weeks that the Government, by its own admission, is willing to break the law. It cannot be allowed that these actions go unchecked and I urge everyone to consider the ramifications which the lockdown has had on our freedoms and liberties.

In the meantime, we will continue to fight to expose the dangerous and damaging impacts the Government’s lockdown strategy has had on the entire nation and I would urge you to join our fight by signing up to https://www.keepbritainfree.com

    In New Zealand there was a legal challenge to lockdown and whilst the court found the first 11 days of lockdown was not legal it gave the opinion that the lockdown was understandable (not correct wording ) under the circumstances.

    The court’s opinion on the circumstances is challengeable but if valid and invalid trial results for hydroxychloroquine and associated therapies was a part of the legal challenge the courts opinion may have been a little less frivolous.

      Further clarification. The New Zealand court’s ruling that whilst the first eleven days of lockdown was illegal the lockdown saved people’s lives which made the lockdown semi valid. (incorrect wording but conceptually ok )

      Evidence of invalid and valid trials that hydroxychloroquine and associated therapies produce efficacy as a prophylaxis and often successful treatment for the virus if treatment is given within 5 days of becoming symptomatic could negate the court’s view that lockdown saved lives.
      It could be argued that the failure of the government to enact a successful treatment program based on publicly accessible medical research is in effect a failure to “provide the necessaries of life” as well as the lockdown being illegitimate. And the failure to provide recommended treatment for those in old folks homes?
      And that some of the medical trials for hydroxychloroquine appear to intentionally have overdosed the patients or been medical malpractice needs to be put before the courts.
