THE Labour Party’s publication of a previously secret code of conduct for judging claims of anti-semitism is an apparent attempt to pre-empt an imminent court hearing, accused members have said. The party is being taken to the High Court by six of its members from Labour Activists for Justice (LA4J), with two others supported by the Left Legal Fighting Fund. They are demanding that Labour make its disciplinary process fair and just for all members. An aspect of their claim concerns the party’s use of an unpublished code of conduct to judge anti-semitism cases. Accused members could not access the code and therefore use it in their defence. Labour repeatedly refused to publish it.
