Bear with us, because we’re about to explain how a small piece of charity law could have big consequences for the UK’s efforts to reach net zero; that the Charity Commission is letting it happen, and how the Good Law Project is teaming up with RSPB to call on the Commission to act.

Good Law Project has seen emails revealing that former No.10 advisor Dominic Cummings referred an offer from two middlemen representing US-based Innova Medical Group within a single hour of being approached.

The Department of Health & Social Care have now been ordered to reply to our request for a copy of all WhatsApp messages between Matt Hancock and his publican friend, Alex Bourne. The Information Commissioner’s office ruled that the DHSC breached Freedom of Information guidelines.

We’re disappointed not to have been given permission in our legal challenge against the Metropolitan Police.

Last month, we shared the news that the High Court had rejected our attempt to challenge the extreme delays faced by the trans community when trying to access healthcare from NHS England.

Tomorrow we will be in court for a hearing where it will be decided if we can push forward with our case against the Metropolitan Police’s handling of the Partygate investigation. The decision about whether our legal challenge will be heard in full in the High Court may be made that same day.

Good Law Project has written to the Metropolitan Police Service asking it to investigate apparent breaches of the coronavirus regulations by Matt Hancock and Gina Coladangelo.

The new Conservative Party Chairman, Greg Hands, helped Luxe Lifestyle Ltd, a company closely associated with the then Chair of his local constituency party, Mark Higton, land a £25m ‘VIP’ PPE deal. This is despite the company having no experience in providing protective equipment. 

Back in March 2021, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, told Parliament that details of all Covid contracts were now “on the record”. A month later, Cabinet Minister Julia Lopez, claimed “all historical Covid-related contracts” had been published.

We are going to court in March to support Protect Dunsfold in their efforts to stop a scheme which could open the doors to oil and gas barons flocking to Surrey’s countryside to exploit its natural resources.

We are delighted that the Environmental Law Foundation (ELF), supported by us, has been given permission to intervene in a landmark case about whether water companies are legally accountable for sewage dumping.
