In a politically sensitive judgment, the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Dyson, ruled in late January that the High Court must investigate the intervention by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, banning a Christian advertisement which was deemed by Stonewall and Transport for London to be ‘anti-gay’.
