The claim raises a novel point as to whether the Court can grant a remedy that would interfere with the consideration of primary legislation by the Senedd, following the introduction into the Senedd of the Prohibition of Greyhound Racing (Wales) Bill after the commencement of the claim. The Court will consider the effect of what the Supreme Court said about challenges to primary legislation of the devolved legislatures in AXA General Insurance Ltd and others v HM Advocate [2011] UKSC 46, [2012] 1 AC 868 and how it applies to the circumstances of the challenge to the ban.
Christian Howells is instructed by Richard Bush and Russell Williamson of Bird & Bird on behalf of GBGB.
