Order

Of the court’s own motion;

Following the listing of the substantive hearing in this claim before a Divisional Court of the King’s Bench Division at 10.30am on Tuesday 25 November 2025 (time estimate 3 days);

ORDER BY THE HON. MR JUSTICE CHAMBERLAIN

  1. Any request for a direction under s. 85A(3)(b) of the Courts Act 2003 (“a transmission direction request”) by a person not taking part in the proceedings (“an applicant”) for permission to watch or listen to the OPEN part of these proceedings remotely must be made by 10am on Monday 24 November 2025.
  2. Any transmission direction request should be sent by email to administrativecourtoffice.listoffice@justice.gov.uk and must include:

    (a) the full name of the applicant;

    (b) the email address of the applicant;

    (c) whether the applicant would be located within the jurisdiction of England and Wales at all times when attending the proceedings remotely (if a transmission direction were to be made); and, if not, details of the applicant’s location;

    (d) any information the applicant wishes to provide in support of the request, including in particular any reason(s) why it is contended that making such a direction would be in the interests of justice; and

    (e) a statement by the applicant in the following terms:

    “If permitted to attend the hearing remotely, I understand and undertake to the Court that I will not make a recording, capture images, and/or broadcast any part of the proceedings. I understand that to do so would be an offence and may be a contempt of court, and that I may be punished if I were to do so.”
  3. Unless exceptionally the Court otherwise directs, a transmission direction request made otherwise than in accordance with this Order will not be granted.

REASONS

(1) The claimant is one of the founders of Palestine Action. By permission granted in part by Mr Justice Chamberlain and in part by the Court of Appeal, she challenges the decision of the Home Secretary to add Palestine Action to the list of proscribed organisations in Schedule 2 to the Terrorism Act 2000.

(2) This case may attract media attention. This Order is made to ensure that any transmission direction requests are made in a timely manner, to enable them to be considered and determined prior to the trial and to ensure that any such requests are accompanied by the necessary information.
