Labour activists lose High Court challenge over anti-semitism complaints
EIGHT current or former Labour members lost a High Court claim against the party today over its disciplinary process for investigating complaints of anti-semitism.
They alleged Labour had acted unfairly by failing to close investigations or revoke suspensions and expulsions after the equality watchdog found that the party’s disciplinary procedure was unfair.
The Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said there was “a lack of a clear and fair process for respondents” to allegations of anti-semitism in its October 2019 report, the court heard.
