Cornwall 2000 pursued an action against the Home Office, Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), in an attempt to obtain a Temporary Injunction to prevent the 2nd Compliance Report being submitted to the Council of Europe's Advisory Committee until the Report had been the subject of a Judicial Review in the High Court.   This Temporary Injunction failed to be achieved for the most bizarre reasons, and with a high court judge rewarding the 'dirty tricks' of the UK Government, as presented by the Secretary of State for the DCLG, Ruth Kelly's Counsel.   The following links (more to be added) will give a public account of proceedings, subsequent to the refusal.

The UK 2nd Compliance Report was not submitted to the Council of Europe until the last day of the plenary hearing established to look into UK Compliance.  The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe gave the Advisory Committee authorisation last August to begin monitoring the UK in the absence of a state report in view of the report's persistent delay.   The Report had been delayed for almost 3 years with no explanation and this update from Cornwall 2000 reveals the basic change to the Draft Report.   UK exclude Ulster-Scots from minority treaty
