Press apply to High Court over rejected regulation plans
The newspaper and magazine industry has applied to the High Court for a judicial review of the Privy Council's decision to reject its self-regulation proposals for a Royal Charter.
A statement said "it is the clear view" of the industry’s trade associations that the application "was not dealt with fairly".
"We believe that the decision and the Order were therefore unlawful, and the industry’s associations through PressBof [ the industry body which funds the regulatory system] are applying to the High Court for judicial review and to have the decision quashed".
