Judge rules Palestine Action can challenge terror law ban in court
The Guardian
|July 31, 2025
Scrutiny on Cooper's decision-making and casts uncertainty over the fate of those arrested under the Terrorism Act in relation to Palestine Action - or who might be in future.
-
The Home Office had argued that the proper forum for Palestine Action to challenge the ban was the POAC (Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission), which parliament had designated precisely for that purpose, rather than judicial review.
But Chamberlain said the POAC would be unlikely to be able to hear the case before the middle of next year, whereas a judicial review could be heard this autumn, and there was a strong public interest for it to be determined as soon as possible.
