The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Burnett, delivers the judgment of the Court of Appeal overturning a High Court Judge’s decision to allow a claim for judicial review against the Minister for the Cabinet Office. The decision concerned the award of a contract to Public First Limited in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. The judge had held that the decision to award the contract gave rise to apparent bias contrary to common law principles, based on a combination of the personal association between Dominic cummings and the directors and owners of Public First.
