Legal action
On 11 July 2016, Martin Howe QC emailed a letter to Iain McNicol stating that legal action will be taken if Jeremy Corbyn is left off the leadership ballot triggered by the challenge of Angela Eagle. Holding McNicol personally liable, Martin Howe wrote:
- "We understand that you are considering holding tomorrow's vote in secret. There is no ground for subverting the democratic procedures of a political party in such a way or the principles of the Labour Party. Secret votes have no place in the robust and open free speech of a National Executive Committee."[2]
