| | At a hearing on Friday 9 November 2007 in the High Court in London, Lord Justice Moses, sitting with Mr Justice Irwin, granted permission to CAAT (Campaign Against the Arms Trade) and The Corner House to bring a full judicial review hearing against the UK Government's decision to cut short a Serious Fraud Office (SFO) investigation into alleged corruption by BAE Systems in recent arms deals with Saudi Arabia. Lawyers for the two groups argued before the two judges that the SFO decision was unlawful under the OECD's Anti-Bribery Convention, which the UK signed in 1997. |
