Met Police to appeal against ruling that it breached rights of Sarah Everard vigil planners

The Metropolitan Police will appeal against a High Court ruling that it breached the rights of organisers of a vigil for Sarah Everard with its handling of the event, the force has said.

In a ruling on March 11, two senior judges found the Met's decisions in the run-up to the planned event were "not in accordance with the law".

Reclaim These Streets (RTS) had planned the socially-distanced vigil for 33-year-old Ms Everard, who was murdered by former Met officer Wayne Couzens, near to where she went missing in Clapham, south London, in March last year.
