The Claimant, the Avaaz Foundation, challenged the decision of the Office of Communications concluding that various allegations of impropriety made against Fox News, a subsidiary of 21st Century Fox Inc, and the evidence in support of those allegations, did not provide a sufficient basis for it to decide in advance of a proposed merger between Fox and Sky plc that Sky, an existing holder of statutory broadcast licences, would not remain fit and proper to hold its licences.
