Judicial review outcome – XL Bully ban

XL Bully Ban - England and Wales - Upheld

A 42-page ruling was published on 17 December 2024 followed a two-day legal hearing of a judicial review application brought by the Don’t Ban Me Licence Me campaign group.

The Judge found that although the Government did breach their duty under the Equality Act, the decision to ban the XL Bully was not unlawful and the XL Bully ban continues.

Permission to appeal was refused by Mrs Justice Lang.
