"Later this month five of the women in this case will face an attempt by the police to have their entire claim struck out.

- These are common law claims of “deceit, assault, misfeasance in public office and negligence” made by the women who were decieved into long-term intimate relationships with undercover officers.

- The police will argue that the claims should be struck out because their asserted “Neither Confirm Nor Deny” policy prevents them from answering questions, disclosing any documents or giving evidence, and therefore they say they will be prevented from having a fair trial."
