Boris Johnson wins court challenge over alleged Brexit lies

CNN  

London CNN — Boris Johnson, the leading candidate to succeed Theresa May as British Prime Minister, has won a High Court challenge against allegations he lied to the public during the 2016 Brexit referendum campaign, according to the UK’s Press Association news agency. Judges at London’s High Court on Friday quashed the attempt to prosecute Johnson, after a judge at Westminster Magistrates’ Court ruled on May 29 that he must face a private summons on three counts of misconduct in public office, according to PA. Johnson’s barrister, Adrian Darbishire QC, told the High Court that the private prosecution was politically motivated and hence vexatious. “But parliament specifically chose not to do what the now seeks to achieve.” According to PA, Lady Justice Rafferty addressed Johnson’s barrister, saying: “We are persuaded, Mr. Darbishire, so you succeed, and the relief that we grant is the quashing of the summonses.” The judge said reasons for the court’s ruling will be given at a later date. Speaking outside court, Marcus Ball, who lodged the summons, said he would wait to see the reasons for the decision before deciding what to do next, according to PA. Ball added: “We have just given the green light for every politician to lie to us about our money forever.
