Case overview
In November 2021, a string of revelations started spilling out into the press about these unlawful Christmas parties.
Good Law Project threatened to sue the Metropolitan Police over its refusal to investigate.
With pressure mounting, the Met finally u-turned, but its eventual Partygate probe was fundamentally flawed.The Met Police have failed to explain why Boris Johnson was reportedly not sent questionnaires regarding three other gatherings (in November and December 2020 and January 2021), nor issued with fixed penalty notices for attending them, when a number of civil servants and officials who did received both.
