The UK government has been temporarily barred from finalizing any agreements regarding the Chagos Islands due to a High Court ruling. Judge Mr. Justice Goose issued an 'interim relief' order after Chagossian Bertrice Pompe contested the Foreign Office's discussions about transferring the British Indian Ocean Territory to another government. This ruling prohibits any legally binding steps towards a transfer until the case is heard again in court. A follow-up hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning to further address the situation.
The defendant shall take no conclusive or legally binding step to conclude its negotiations concerning the possible transfer of the British Indian Ocean Territory.
Mr Justice Goose granted 'interim relief' to Chagossian Bertrice Pompe who had brought a case against the Foreign Office.
This court order emphasizes the importance of protecting the rights and interests of the Chagossian people amidst ongoing negotiations.
The court will hear the case again at 10:30 on Thursday, indicating a continued legal oversight on the matter.
