The Prime Minister has decided to fight a court case brought by a UK Independence Party member in which he is accused of breach of contract over a referendum on the EU Constitution.
The case, to be heard at Brighton County Court, claims that the government promised a referendum on the European Constitution in its election manifesto of 2005. The court will be asked to decide whether the government's refusal to hold one is a breach of contract with all those who voted Labour in the 2005 General Election.
The government has told the court it will defend the charge and has asked that the case be adjourned from February 7 because it says the hearing will take longer than the 15 minutes originally allocated.
The case has been brought by onetime Labour activist Stuart Bower, a former police officer who was later a constituency secretary for the Labour Party in Hove in 1997.
Mr Bower, who left Labour and joined the UK Independence Party, said: "I am delighted that this case will be heard in an open court."
"From the papers I have been sent, it seems that the Prime Minister is denying the pledge made in his government's manifesto. Surely this is a desperate act as everybody knows the commitment was made and that is why many people gave their votes to his party.
"To me, it is a clear case of breach of contract. They made a written promise and broke it. That was a contract between the government and the people.
"I also gather that the Prime Minister says his government is acting with the authority of the Crown. I wait with interest to see what their justification is for such an extraordinary claim."
**I refer one and all to this comment made by unelected PM Brown's personal barrister who told the court that:
In short that he can feed us the voters any pile of steaming horse shit that he dreams up, then after the people vote for his assorted fantasies can then say that is not a legitimate expectation and we can all just fuck off.
