UK Appeals Palestine Action Ban as Court Battle Persists

Britain is appealing a High Court ruling that the government's ban on the activist group Palestine Action was illegal, triggering a Court of Appeal hearing in London. The case follows judges calling the proscription “disproportionate,” and the ban remains in place during the appeal. Activists and rights groups argue the measure suppresses dissent and human rights, while the government defends counterterrorism measures and notes lawful ways to support the Palestinian cause. The outcome of the appeal remains unclear.

Landmark High Court bid blames poultry farming and sewage for River Wye pollution

More than 4,500 residents near the River Wye and its catchment in Wales and England have launched what is described as the UK’s largest environmental pollution claim against Avara Foods and Welsh Water, alleging that spreading chicken manure and sewage spills have caused nutrient pollution and algal blooms that degrade river health and affect livelihoods. The case, brought by Leigh Day, marks a landmark in UK environmental litigation with a High Court hearing in London, while the defendants deny the allegations; Natural England has previously rated the Wye as unfavourable–declining, linking the issues to farming, wastewater and climate factors.

Sentebale sues Prince Harry for defamation in UK High Court

Sentebale has filed a High Court defamation suit against Prince Harry and former trustee Mark Dyer, alleging a coordinated adverse media campaign since March 2025 disrupted operations and harmed the charity’s reputation; Harry denies the allegations. The action follows governance tensions that led the founders to step down as patrons, with the Charity Commission later saying governance was weak but finding no bullying.

Designer Katie Perry Triumphs in 16-Year Trademark Clash with Katy Perry

Australian designer Katie Perry (Katie Taylor) wins a 16-year trademark battle against pop star Katy Perry: the High Court’s 3-2 ruling finds the singer’s fame wouldn’t mislead consumers into linking Katie Perry’s clothing with her brand, upholding Katie Perry’s trademark while noting that Katy Perry’s label had been assiduous infringers by selling clothing in Australia; the case will return to the Full Federal Court for remaining issues.

Katie Perry nets High Court win in Australia over Katy Perry trademark

Australia’s High Court ruled in favor of designer Katie Perry, finding her Katie Perry clothing trademark is not likely to be confused with Katy Perry’s brand and preserving the mark on the register after years of litigation that began with a 2014 tour merchandise dispute; the decision follows a 2023 victory later overturned on appeal, with some issues referred back to full federal court.

Court upholds Met Police Freemason membership disclosure policy

The High Court has dismissed a challenge to the Metropolitan Police's internal policy requiring staff to declare Freemason membership, ruling the measure lawful, proportionate and non-discriminatory as it protects public trust. The disclosure is internal, with only a small number of staff having access to the list, and about 400 declarations have been made so far, despite objections from Freemason groups and rights advocates.

UK High Court rules Palestine Action ban unlawful, keeps proscription in limbo

The UK High Court ruled that the government’s decision to ban Palestine Action under terrorism laws was disproportionate and unlawful, but the group remains proscribed for now pending a further hearing and possible appeal. Police say they will not immediately arrest supporters, instead focusing on gathering evidence for potential offences. The decision elicited mixed reactions across parties and rights groups, and the government has signalled it will appeal.

UK High Court finds Palestine Action ban unlawful, but keeps it during appeal

Britain’s High Court ruled that the government’s 2025 proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful, saying it disproportionately infringed on freedom of speech and assembly and was discriminatory, though the ban remains in effect pending the government’s appeal. The decision noted that only a very small number of actions met the terrorism threshold. Reactions came from Palestine Action, human rights groups, and supporters who argue thousands were arrested under the order for peaceful protests, while officials say the decision underscores the use of terrorism powers.

Australia Implements Age Checks Amid Social Media and Content Regulations

Reddit is challenging an Australian law requiring age restrictions on social media by arguing it is not a social media platform, claiming it does not facilitate online social interaction. The High Court's decision could clarify the scope of the law and impact other platforms, but Reddit's argument that it doesn't enable social interaction is likely to be challenged, given its own description of fostering community and connection.
