Winckworth Sherwood and Eversheds are acting as parliamentary agents for the controversial HS2 project, detailed plans for which were laid out in a 49,910-page hybrid bill.
The firms were appointed by the Department for Transport in May 2012 to work on phase one of the project and see the bill through to royal assent. The firms declined to reveal the size of the ‘large team’. Legal costs of the £50bn project have not been disclosed.
Public inquiry sees lawyer’s emailed instruction to ‘structure’ documents to invoke privilege.
Judicial Conduct Investigations Office says the office holder apologised at the time over ‘comments which were considered inappropriate or threatening’.
High Court also refuses amendments to claim, centred on a failed investment scheme, against another firm which ‘lacked clarity and coherence’.
