High Court last week ruled that the Metropolitan police had breached rights of the vigil’s organisers
The Metropolitan police will appeal against a high court ruling that it breached the rights of the organisers of a planned vigil for Sarah Everard in their handling of the event.
The Met said it had “taken time to consider with great care the decision itself and the wider implications for policing” and planned to appeal against the ruling “to resolve what’s required by law when policing protests and events in the future” in a statement published on Friday.
