The Foreign Sec is subject to a statutory duty of candour in the Judicial Review.
"A public authority’s objective must not be to win the litigation at all costs but to assist the court in reaching the correct result and thereby to improve standards in public administration"

The idea is to maintain the highest standards in public administration and if @DominicRaab had nothing to hide he would have engaged with us last November and given full disclosure as to how and why his dept let #annesacoolas go when it was not their decision to make, keeping
the police in the dark. Truth is he and the US Govt have everything to hide as they know she did not have immunity and that the FCO interfered in a police investigation. It is like extracting hens teeth getting him to comply with his duty of candour and he is in big trouble.
As painful as it's going to be for him and this govt to come clean, there is no other way now. These decisions were made at the highest level under pressure from the US. He must disclose the docs in the next few days. The game is up. Cover ups never succeed.
