NEWS: FREEHOLDER LOBBY LAWFARE AGAINST 2024 ACT SET TO CONTINUE AS COURT OF APPEAL GIVES GREEN LIGHT 📢 Reports today from industry sources on LinkedIn suggest that the freeholder lobby has been granted permission by the Court of Appeal to proceed with an appeal relating to its judicial review of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, which it lost at the High Court in October. There has been no official confirmation as of 14:46 on Thursday 2 April 2026. We believe that what the freeholder lobby is doing is an attack on the will of the people. They lost in elections, they lost the debate with policymakers, and are now trying to torpedo an Act of Parliament through the courts. All of the original claimants who were thrashed in October by a comprehensive and devastating High Court decision, bar the John Lyon’s Charity, are involved. Their continuing judicial review trolling risks having a chilling effect on government as it looks at commencing the 2024 Act, most of which is sat rusting, and considers the new draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill. We urge the @UKLabour government not to hide behind the judicial review to continue its stalling of the enfranchisement reforms. The judiciary is not hierarchically superior to other branches of the state. Parliament is still sovereign. Government can still govern. And the freeholders lost at the High Court in October and chances are they will lose again. Do not give in to the bullying. Remember your manifesto promise to end leasehold for good. Local elections are coming up and leaseholders are understandably angry at the foot-dragging as well as the watered down draft Bill shorn of the promised remaining @Law_Commission recommendations on enfranchisement and Right to Manage. Get on with the public consultation on the enfranchisement rates promised in November 2024 for last summer, which we are all still waiting for. Leaseholders are being left to be looted. The government will not be allowed to hide behind this judicial review to continue its stalling of the enfranchisement reforms in the 2024 Act. Show politics is a force for good, as you promised @Keir_Starmer. Otherwise the people will continue to think democracy is controlled by Big Money, not voters. By letting the freeholder lobby call the shots, you are abandoning Labour’s historic mission of taking on rentier interests for a fairer society. Your namesake Keir Hardie would be raging right now.
