Met defend policing position before vigil at Clapham Common

The Met is defending a Judicial Review of police engagement with Reclaim These Streets after they proposed a vigil for Sarah Everard on Saturday, 13 March, 2021.

The claim relates to discussions between the claimants and officers in the days prior to the proposed vigil about the impact of the restrictions imposed by the Health Protection Regulations.

The Met was unable to give an advance assurance to the claimants that their involvement in organising the vigil would not put them at risk of enforcement action during, or subsequent to, that event.

We do not believe our approach was founded on an inaccurate interpretation of the Regulations or that this constituted an unlawful interference with the claimants’ rights.

Throughout the pandemic, officers worked to balance the need to safeguard the public at large from Covid, with the rights of individuals protected by the Human Rights Act 1998.

Policing of public order events is highly complex and is one of the most scrutinised areas of law enforcement.

We will comment further once the proceedings have concluded.
