William Irwin represents Foreign Secretary in Chagos Islands interim relief application

22/05/2025

William Irwin, led by Sir James Eadie KC, was instructed by the Foreign Secretary to resist an application for interim relief which would have prevented the UK from signing a treaty with Mauritius regarding the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands. Interim relief was initially granted by Mr Justice Goose at 02.25 on 22 May 2025. However, that order was discharged by Mr Justice Chamberlain later the same day. Mr Justice Chamberlain refused to grant any further interim relief.
