>”The fair-minded and reasonably informed observer would not have concluded that a failure to carry out a comparative exercise of the type identified by the judge created a real possibility that the decision-maker was biased.”
Really??
So in choosing “Public First”, despite not setting out any selection criteria, or considering any other businesses, the nature of the personal relationship between Cummings and the company would NOT to a fair-minded person be suspicious??
One wonders what Cummings has on Burnett?
I completely misread that as:
> Gove’s contract to *become* Dominic Cummings friends ruled lawful by Appeal Court – BBC
And then I wondered which of the two of them would be weird enough that they’d have a friendship contract and decided obviously they both would.

It’s quite bizarre really. From the judge:
>”The fair-minded and reasonably informed observer would not have concluded that a failure to carry out a comparative exercise of the type identified by the judge created a real possibility that the decision-maker was biased.”
