High Court Decision Awaited on Wimbledon Tennis Site Expansion Challenge

A High Court judge is scheduled to deliver a ruling on Monday regarding a legal challenge to the approved expansion of the Wimbledon tennis venue. Save Wimbledon Park (SWP) campaigners brought the challenge against the Greater London Authority's (GLA) 2023 decision to approve the All England Club's development plans. The proposed expansion would nearly triple the tournament site's size by adding 38 tennis courts and constructing an 8,000-seat stadium on the former Wimbledon Park Golf Club grounds. Mr. Justice Saini will announce his decision at 2pm on Monday. The All England Club acquired the golf club property from members in 2021 with development intentions, subsequently submitting planning applications to both Merton and Wandsworth councils, as the park spans both boroughs. The comprehensive development plans include tennis courts, supporting infrastructure, seven maintenance buildings, access points, and designated parkland areas with public […]

US Bans Brazil Supreme Court Judges Over Bolsonaro Crackdown

The United States has announced visa restrictions for Brazilian judicial officials and their families following escalating tensions over former President Jair Bolsonaro's legal cases. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the measures Friday, accusing Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes of orchestrating a "political witch-hunt" against Bolsonaro.
