‘This post examines a section of the judgment in R (Mandarin and others) v BIOT Commissioner (the appeal against which is listed for 15-17 July 2026) and traces the origins of its outcome as part of a long-running political dispute between the UK Government on the one hand and the Chagossian people on the other.

Second, are Acts of the UK Parliament next?’
