An investigation by Good Law Project has uncovered the huge profits made by Zoe Ley after she brokered a £250m PPE deal for Hong Kong-based Worldlink Resources – a firm who landed two huge contracts via the unlawful ‘VIP’ lane.

The High Court has rejected our attempt to challenge the long waiting times experienced by trans people seeking help from the NHS. The waits are measured in years rather than weeks and months. We will seek permission from the Court of Appeal to try and overturn this decision.

Last year, Good Law Project launched a legal campaign to uncover the insidious network of think-tanks and lobby groups based around 55 Tufton Street. These organisations have had a disproportionate and harmful influence over our politics – and we have set out to expose who’s behind them and who’s funding them.

We have taken the first formal step in legal proceedings over the Cabinet Office’s three year delay in publishing the contracts awarded to suppliers as part of the Government’s controversial ‘Ventilator Challenge’ programme.   

The final details of the case have been sewn up. We have received the consent order confirming that the case has been withdrawn and that E2BN will pay £10,000 of our costs.

In June 2021, the High Court ruled that Michael Gove acted unlawfully and demonstrated apparent bias in giving the PR company, Public First, a £840,000 contract without competition during the pandemic – a firm with links to both him and Dominic Cummings. 

Introductions from just six Conservative Party politicians led to ‘VIPs’ being awarded contracts worth an eye-watering £5 billion.

As we mark two years since the lockdown-busting Downing Street Christmas Party, Good Law Project can confirm that there will be a hearing to decide whether we can bring our case, along with former Deputy Assistant Commissioner Lord Paddick, against the Metropolitan Police’s handling of the Partygate investigation to the High Court. That hearing will take place on 22 February 2023.

An investigation by Good Law Project can reveal that the cost of storing unused PPE and Covid testing kits has now exceeded an eye-watering £1 billion.

Tom Haward’s oyster firm (Richard Haward’s Oysters) has been in his family for eight generations, going back 300 years. He says that he has been “lucky” that his oyster beds have not been impacted by sewage dumping so far. But Tom is worried about the “immediate threat” that these discharges by water companies pose to his business and marine life around Mersea Island, if they are allowed to continue.

A £4.5 million Government contract has been handed to a company headed up by a major Conservative Party donor to dispose of unused PPE, Good Law Project can reveal.

Their council sold some treasured local parkland without letting them have their say, but yesterday a group of residents from Shrewsbury had their voice heard in the Supreme Court. 

Judy Thomas shares her story.

We’ve been at the High Court this week bringing our legal challenge against NHS England over long-standing, lengthy and unlawful delays to meeting the trans community’s healthcare needs.

The Courts will not control the use by Ministers – in breach of Government’s own policies – of private phones and messaging services, including to negotiate commercial deals with VIPs or share sensitive national security information, the Court of Appeal has this morning ruled. 

Our impact across all the cases we have ever brought.
