 2023 AC-2023-LON-003728 JUDICIAL REVIEW UPDATE CASE UPDATE

Case Number AC-2023-LON-003728 

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE KING’S BENCH DIVISION ADMINISTRATIVE COURT

(1) NEIL MCDOUGALL (2) KAREN CHURCHILL Claimants

and

(1) SECRETARY OF STATE FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE

(2) SECRETARY OF STATE FOR LEVELLING UP, HOUSING AND COMMUNITIES Defendants and

SECRETARY OF STATE FOR SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY Interested Party

Initial challenge submission filed as Letter Before Action

JR application (redacted)

21 remedies being requested

We have received the defence form both the Department of Health and the Department of Levelling up. Both are seeking the Judge to refuse permission for the Judicial Review to be heard. We have analysed their reasons and can counter them comprehensively based on Jack Williams and Wade’s analysis of the EUWA 2018 Exit Law and our evidence of the government’s ongoing failure to clarify and remedy the extent of the Local Authorities and Local Planning Authorities risk reconciliation role under the European Electronics Communications Code (EECC).

Please support them via the gofundme page as they now need cover their costs to continue with this vital challenge.

Meanwhile do keep objecting to mast applications; general template letter, with EECC action, link.

Call from Edinburgh: I need as many people as possible to click and read a bit of this article because journalists track the ‘read count’ per article. So this needs to be high to encourage more articles on 5G. This is the first news article published before the deadline for comments in Edinburgh and also significantly the article contains a hyper link which takes readers straight to the application on the planning portal. So, I need as many people as possible to click on the hyperlink even though the deadline for objections is passed.

Letter 3 here puts notice to councils when non existent Telco companies are listed on ICNIRP certificates, thereby invalidating the application.

At the Labour Party Conference in October Rachel Reeves Shadow Chancellor said:

“So today, I am announcing our plans to get Britain building. A once-in-a-generation set of reforms to accelerate the building of critical infrastructure for energy, transport and technology. To fast-track battery factories, life sciences and 5G infrastructure and to tackle the litigation which devours time and money before we ever see shovels in the ground.”

My 5G Journey With Karen Churchill – interview 1hr.

Judicial Review Hearing April 2024

This case could set a precedent for how councils process prior approval applications including in relation to how local authorities  assess the impacts of the proximity of the masts to residential buildings. Examining public exclusion zone diagrams should be a very first step in the risk reconciliation process which is a function assigned to them directly in the 2018 EU Directive, the EECC  European Electronics Communications Code.

Come and support Steven on the case and it could well be a shared release of immense frustration being felt across the UK about the health and environmental impacts being ignored.

UK EECC challenge escalated to Judicial Review: read our blog report

THE GOVERNMENT DECLINED TO REMEDY THEIR MULTIPLE FAILURES WITHOUT LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, SO A JUDICIAL REVIEW IS UNDERWAY

The government did not provide a substantial response to the EECC submission filed on December 13th September 2023, so the Judicial Review application was crafted and filed with the Administrative Court on December 21st.

Certain elements of the September EECC submission were re-iterated with a reminder that it had been sent to DSIT earlier in October. SofSLUHC and SofSHSC declined to respond to this final two day opportunity to provide clarity.

This left Neil and Karen no other option other than to become claimants and pursue a Judicial Review against the both the SofSLUHC and SoSHSC.

The Christmas and New year bank holidays gave the defendants reason to apply for another extension to respond to the sealed order, so a response is now expected by January 25th.

This case is a citizen led (no lawyers) initiative, Neil McDougall and Karen Churchill are representing themselves. 

They have worked voluntarily for four years to build up the evidence which proves that the government have neglected their public health responsibilities, and they have failed to clarify the local authorities legal obligations to risk assess the impacts of 5G.

We know many of you have already donated handsomely to legal actions, but this case is vital – little donations by many will help them to proceed to work systematically and efficiently.

Please support them via the gofundme page as they now need cover their costs to continue with this vital challenge.

5G trial network to be created in Bath thanks to £770k grant

It makes no sense for risk assessments and cumulative impact not to be considered in other environmental fields, such as telecoms infrastructure, where it is already acknowledged that there are safe bilogical limits. Without considering cumulative impact there is logically no way to judge whether these safe limits have been breached. Councils need to be acting with competency and full information, each application is by definition site specific in its risk profile.

Cellphone Taskforce: Newsletters. January: even the ticks are disappearing

From 5GinMerton: There is better, more reliable, more efficient, more resilient, more future-proof, cheaper, faster, safer, private and secure technology available to deliver broadband, so why the undemocratic forcing of 5G on the public?  

The answer is clearly set out in all the policy papers.  5G is suited to delivering surveillance prison cities which the government markets as smart cities.  So it is not just about phones and masts, it is about cameras and sensors of all kinds. ULEZ  (see https://www.abdlondon.uk/) and 15 minute cities and smart motorways are the tip of the iceberg.  We’re not the customer, we’re the product/livestock.  Government bodies and those who want to control rather than serve the public are the actual customers. I hope this video shows what I mean (Boris Johnsons speech).

Application to The European Court of Human Rights – Action Against 5g

The 2022 annual report Form 10-K SEC filing of Crown Corporation Inc, Texas acknowledging the possibility of legal claims against them due to negative health impact of wireless/5g in their risk analysis – and that that they have no insurance for this.

Page 17: “If radio frequency emissions from wireless handsets or equipment on our communications infrastructure are demonstrated to cause negative health effects, potential future claims could adversely affect our operations, costs or revenues.

The potential connection between radio frequency emissions and certain negative health effects, including some forms of cancer, has been the subject of substantial study by the scientific community in recent years. We cannot guarantee that claims relating to radio frequency emissions will not arise in the future or that the results of such studies will not be adverse to us.

Public perception of possible health risks associated with cellular or other wireless connectivity services and wireless technologies (such as 5G) may slow or diminish the growth of wireless companies and deployment of new wireless technologies, which may in turn slow or diminish our growth. In particular, negative public perception of, and regulations regarding, these perceived health risks may slow or diminish the market acceptance of wireless services and technologies. If a connection between radio frequency emissions and possible negative health effects were established, our operations, costs, or revenues may be materially and adversely affected. We currently do not maintain any significant insurance with respect to these matters.”
