The Supreme Court will approve Heathrow s new runway, a lawyer has claimed ahead of the judge s ruling tomorrow.
A panel of five justices at the UK s highest court are set to allow Heathrow Airport to expand by building a third runway, according to Tim Crosland, a lawyer involved in the campaign against the plans.
The judges are due to rule on the case at 9.45am tomorrow but Mr Crosland decided to break a legal embargo as an act of civil disobedience .
The plans were declared unlawful on environmental grounds by the Court of Appeal in February and in October the Supreme Court heard a challenge over the Government s decision to give the go-ahead for the third runway at a two-day hearing.
