JEREMY CORBYN’S suspension from the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) “went behind an agreement to reinstate” him to Labour “at all levels,” the High Court has heard.
At a remote hearing at the High Court, Judge Lisa Sullivan considered an application for “pre-action disclosure” by Mr Corbyn’s legal team over his suspension from the PLP last year.
The former leader’s lawyers want the party to release papers relating to his initial suspension as a party member, and negotiations with his successor Sir Keir Starmer’s office over his reinstatement.
