CrowdJustice Target Reached: Phase 1 Secured

December 31, 2025 5 min read
Link Copied!
The organisation accomplished a significant milestone. With backing from more than 999 contributors, the campaign surpassed its £25,000 stretch objective on the CrowdJustice platform.

What This Accomplishment Means:
The funding secures Phase 1 of the legal challenge completely. The alliance now possesses the financial resources needed to act promptly once the government announces its final policy decisions.

Forthcoming Actions:

1. Legal Opinion Development: Kingsley Napley is completing a comprehensive Legal Opinion following thorough investigation.
2. Pre-Action Protocol (PAP): Upon government policy announcement, the team will immediately submit the PAP letter.
3. Judicial Review Path: Should the government decline to modify its retrospective approach, the group is equipped to pursue Judicial Review proceedings.

The CrowdJustice fundraising campaign has now paused at the organisation's request, reflecting commitment to transparency and ensuring proper fund allocation at this current phase.
