Electoral Commission ruling challenged over cash 'donated' to Vote Leave supporters
SAM TOBIN reports from the High Court

THE ELECTION watchdog was in the High Court today over its decision to let Vote Leave spend £725,000 with an advertising company by “donating” the cash to third parties.

The Good Law Project (GLP) is challenging the Electoral Commission over “donations” made by Vote Leave just before the referendum vote in June 2016.

Vote Leave paid £625,000 to Canadian data and marketing company Aggregate IQ, apparently on behalf of fashion student Darren Grimes.
