Far from being the victory which some are claiming it to have been, today's Divisional Court decision about Dido Harding's appointment is a massive blow to the Good Law Project and its ability to meddle in all manner of governmental decisions 👇 1/ 
The decision itself has been peddled as involving a finding that Dido Harding's appointment was unlawful. Such a portrayal is inaccurate. The Court found that there had been breaches of the PSED in the process by which Harding was appointed, but 2/
The Court made no finding that Harding's appointment was in fact unlawful. It was asked, but declined, to do so 3/3
Oops. As close to an admission as @jolyonmaugham is likely to make that @GoodLawProject's spinning of today's judgment has simply ignored the result
