The Met Police will be sued in the High Court after the force was accused of not properly investigating Boris Johnson over Partygate.
Formal proceedings were issued today by Brian Paddick, the Lib Dem peer and Scotland Yard's former Deputy Assistant Commissioner, and the Good Law Project, which took a string of legal actions against the government over Covid.
Their case accuses the Met of failing to issue questionnaires to Boris Johnson over three Covid law-breaking leaving dos that were held at 10 Downing Street.
