Government sued over no-deal ferry contracts
The government is being sued for its decision to charter firms to run extra ferries, including one with no ships, in The Event of a no-deal Brexit.
Channel Tunnel operator Eurotunnel, said the contracts, revealed after Christmas, were decided in a "secretive and flawed procurement process".
The Move comes days after Seaborne, one of the firms chosen, after its funding fell through.
The government said it had carried out a "competitive procurement process".
"The Department for Transport acted transparently and competitively throughout The Process of securing extra freight.
"This was done by approaching ferry operators and encouraging bids that could be fairly assessed against each other," a spokeswoman said.

Ewan West, representing Transport Secretary Chris Grayling in court, said the government's procurement process was only for "maritime freight" services and that Eurotunnel "could never have provided that capacity" and "could not have complied" with the terms of the contracts.
Judge Peter Fraser ruled a four-day trial will begin on 1 March given the "obvious" urgency of the case and the "very important public interest matters" involved.

However, the BBC understands that A Number of firms were considered and there was a private negotiation process.
Three suppliers were awarded a total of £102. 9m in late December, aimed at easing "severe congestion" at Dover, in the case of a no-deal Brexit:
The decision to award a contract to Seaborne, a firm with no ships, has been heavily criticised.
