High Court Rejects Andrew Rosindell’s Bid to Reenter Romford Office After Defection
The High Court ruled Rosindell lost office access rights after defecting to Reform UK and ordered him to pay £23,000 in legal costs to the Romford Conservative Association.
- On Monday, Romford MP Andrew Rosindell lost his High Court bid to regain access to his former constituency office at Margaret Thatcher House following his January defection to Reform UK.
- The Romford Conservative Association locked Rosindell out after his defection, arguing the office license was contingent on his Conservative Party membership and that continued access would enable him to "spy" on party activities.
- Rosindell's team argued the association had "taken the law into its own hands," claiming the lockout was "materially impairing" his ability to serve constituents and denying him security features including CCTV and a panic room.
- Mr Justice Choudhury rejected the injunction application, declaring Rosindell's case "intrinsically weak" and stating he "ought to have realised that he had surrendered his right to occupy" the office.
- The High Court ordered Rosindell to pay £23,000 in legal costs, with the judge noting he had failed to secure alternative office space despite the premises being vital to his constituency work.
