Palantir is set to sue Sadiq Khan after the London Mayor blocked a £50m contract with the Metropolitan Police as he claimed the tech giant does not reflect the City's values.
I completely agree. I doubt Palantir’s objective is even to win the case. I imagine the strategy is to cause such a long and expensive process in the hope that the Mayor’s office will give in.
I’m no legal expert myself but as way of explaination we have different courts for different matters. As this isn’t a criminal case but a civil one of some importance, it would likely go to the ‘crown court’ and then to the appeals court (should one side decide to appeal) for a final decision, but I believe the appeals process can be very long and drawn out, which is I expect what Palantir want. Because they are cunts.
