A JUDICIAL review has been granted to investigate the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s report into Labour anti-semitism, with those named in the controversial dossier calling it a “vital step towards correcting the record.”

A legal challenge to overturn the inquiry’s findings, by ex-London mayor Ken Livingstone and former Labour councillor Pam Bromley, has succeeded at the first stage, with a judge finding the pair have an arguable case. 

Mr Livingstone and Ms Bromley began the action in January, after the report claimed that the former was guilty of “unlawful harassment” against Jews, in the only two cases of alleged anti-semitism cited by the commission.
