FORMER Labour peer Greville Janner has been ordered to appear in court today over alleged child sexual abuse charges spanning a period from the 1960s through to the 1980s.

Mr Paul Ozin, acting on behalf of Mr Janner, slammed yesterday’s decision by the High Court as “barbaric” and “uncivilised.”

Lawyers for the 87-year-old lost their case that forcing the peer to attend court whilst suffering from severe dementia would be a violation of his human rights.
