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.
LABOUR members filed High Court action against the party this week over investigations into their alleged conduct taking place under a system that it admitted was “unfair”.
The group of seven, four of whom are Jewish, said Labour had accepted the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) report on the party’s handling of anti-semitism complaints and that its disciplinary process was “not fit for purpose.”
However the members said that they were investigated over anti-semitism claims under the very process that Labour said it would replace.
The group, Labour Activists For Justice (LA4J), said it had been “unjustly accused of undermining the party’s ability to campaign against racism, have been working for six months to persuade the party to improve its disciplinary process for the benefit of all members, but have been rejected at every approach.”
