Labour members file High Court action over ‘unfair’ disciplinary system

LABOUR members filed High Court action against the party this week over investigations into their alleged conduct taking place under a system that it admitted was “unfair”.

The group of seven, four of whom are Jewish, said Labour had accepted the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) report on the party’s handling of anti-semitism complaints and that its disciplinary process was “not fit for purpose.”

However the members said that they were investigated over anti-semitism claims under the very process that Labour said it would replace.
