âLabour Activists For Justiceâ group begins legal proceedings over exclusions
18 December, 2020
A HIGH Court claim has been filed against the Labour Party by suspended activists.
Michael Ellman, 83, was excluded from the Labour Party after he proposed a motion in his local Junction Ward branch to reconsider the IHRA definition of antisemitism in August this year.
He is part of a group that calls itself Labour Activists For Justice (LAFJ) that instructed their solicitors to begin legal proceedings on Wednesday.
LAFJ claim their members were unfairly suspended under a disciplinary process that the equalities watchdog has since deemed unfit for purpose after it investigated anti-Jewish racism in the party.
