THE Court of Appeal will consider next week the legality of Britain’s arms exports to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen.

Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) is appealing to overturn a 2017 High Court judgement allowing the British government to continue to export arms to Saudi Arabia.

Representing CAAT, lawyers from Leigh Day will argue that the decision to grant the sales licences was against Britain’s arms exports policy.
