Keith Harrison’s appeal against Disclosures Tribunal findings was dismissed by the Court of Appeal, as reported on 24 June 2020.

The appeal concerned whether the tribunal’s chair had an objectively biased connection with Chief Superintendent Terry McGinn through earlier work at the Morris Tribunal.

The court held that the High Court was right to reject Harrison’s claim. It indicated that costs should be awarded against him, subject to any written submission seeking a different order.
