Labour’s disciplinary process for investigating anti-semitism complaints ‘procedurally unfair,’ lawyers tell High Court
All eight claimants say Labour acted unfairly by failing to close investigations or revoke their suspension or expulsion

LABOUR’S disciplinary process for investigating complaints of anti-semitism is “procedurally unfair,” lawyers representing eight suspended or expelled members told the High Court today.

All eight claimants say Labour acted unfairly by failing to close investigations or revoke their suspension or expulsion after the equality watchdog found that the party’s disciplinary procedure was itself unfair.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) found there was “a lack of a clear and fair process for respondents” to allegations of anti-semitism in an October 2019 report, the court heard.
