This is very disappointing news, though not unexpected. Thoughts with Harry's parents tonight news.sky.com/story/us-denie…
Demonstrates how consequential the decision to allow Anne Sacoolas to leave the country was - and the decision to agree with the United States that she had diplomatic immunity. That decision is being challenge in the High Court
Note that the US accept that Anne Sacoolas *no longer has immunity* (if she had it in the first place). This is correct as according to Art 39(2) of the Vienna Convention, immunity for non-official acts ceases after the diplomat leaves post
Even if Anne Sacoolas had immunity whilst she was in the U.K., everyone seems to accept she doesn’t have it now. There is therefore no reason arising from international law that the request is an ‘abuse’ or for it to be refused.
(Nb I’m acting with Geoffrey Robertson QC and @MarksLarks in the family’s judicial review case)
