HS2 judicial review decisions due Friday
Campaigners seeking to stop HS2 in its tracks will find out on Friday whether they have been successful.
The results of the five judicial reviews, evidence on which was taken in December, is expected to be announced in the High Court in London on Friday morning.
During those evidence sessions, Rupert Warren QC said there were “calamitous errors” made in the DfT’s consultation process – more than enough to force it to be halted.
The reviews are being brought by councils, campaign groups, businesses and others opposed to the principle of the line, or its route, including Heathrow Hub and Aylesbury Golf Club.
