Sarah Everard vigil: Met Police appeal against High Court ruling
The Met Police will appeal against a High Court ruling that it breached the rights of the organisers of a vigil for Sarah Everard in South London .
The Group had to cancel The Event after the.
However, hundreds of people attended an unofficial gathering to pay their respects to Ms Everard who was murdered.
Police and some protesters clashed at the Clapham Common vigil last March.
The Force said in a statement on Friday it had " taken time to consider" the decision but that it wanted to " resolve what's required by law when policing protests and events" in future.
" It's important for policing and The Public that we have absolute clarity of what's expected of us in law, " it said.
" This is why we feel we must seek permission to appeal The Judgment in order to resolve what's required by law when policing protests and events in The Future . "
At a two-day hearing at The High Court in January, Jessica Leigh, Anna Birley, Henna Shah and Jamie Klingler argued that decisions made by The Force in advance of the planned vigil amounted to a breach of their right to freedom of speech and assembly.
The Judgment was described by their solicitor as " a victory for women".
Reclaim These Streets (RTS) had planned the socially-distanced vigil for the 33-year-old, near to where she went missing in Clapham.
Almost a year to The Day on from the 13 March 2021 vigil, two senior judges released their findings that The Met 's actions were " not in accordance with the law".
The Women cancelled The Vigil after being told by The Force they would face fines of £10,000 each and possible prosecution if it went ahead, The Court heard.
The spontaneous vigil that took place instead led to The Force being heavily criticised for its actions - although it went on to be cleared by The Police watchdog.
