Postcomm not to appeal JR

26 January 2006

Postcomm has decided not to appeal the judgment given against it in the judicial review proceedings brought by Postwatch.

Postcomm continues to believe that its approach to the interpretation of Royal Mail’s bulk compensation scheme was correct but, having failed to persuade Mr Justice Sullivan of its view, the prospects of persuading the Court of Appeal to overturn that decision are not strong enough to pursue. We therefore think the best course of action is to move on.

We understand that Royal Mail is appealing against the High Court decision.
