“David vs Goliath”: Family Takes Fight to High Court Over Refusal to Reopen Ryan Passey Case
We can confirm that our judicial review against the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is now progressing before the High Court, challenging the decision of 18 February 2026 to refuse consent to seek a retrial following the killing of Ryan Passey.

When examining some of Britain’s most determined grassroots justice campaigns, two names emerge repeatedly - Ann Ming, the mother who fought for nearly two decades to overturn the archaic double‑jeopardy law, and the family of Ryan Passey, the young footballer fatally stabbed in a Stourbridge nightclub in 2017. While the tragedies differ, the campaigns borne from them share deep, powerful similarities—rooted in injustice, persistence, and a fierce refusal to let the legal sys
