UK High Court Says Local Councils Can Boycott Israel
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Daniel Sugarman - Britain's High Court ruled last week against guidance issued by the Department for Communities and Local Government last September that prevented local governments from taking part in boycotts of companies doing business with Israel. The judge, Sir Ross Cranston, said this element of guidance was beyond the statutory powers of the Communities Department. The Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which had brought the case, hailed the ruling as a "triumph" for the boycott movement.
