The Corner House (organisation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Corner House is a not for profit company limited by guarantee founded in 1997 in the United Kingdom. According to its website, it aims "to support democratic & community movements for environmental & social justice"[1]

In 2007, The Corner House and the Campaign Against Arms Trade lodged an appeal for a Judicial review of the UK Government's discontinuation of an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office into the Al Yamamah arms deal.[2] In April 2008 the High Court of Justice ruled that the Serious Fraud Office had acted unlawfully in dropping the investigation.[3]
