Judges will decide whether Heather Hallett or the UK government gets to choose what documents are relevant
A legal battle between the Cabinet Office and Covid public inquiry will be considered by the high court on Friday, amid wrangling over the issue of redacted documents, including Boris Johnson’s WhatsApp messages.
Two days have been set aside for judges to consider whether the government or Heather Hallett, the inquiry’s chair, has the right to decide whether such material may be relevant to the investigation.
