Labour MP Jess Phillips has expressed her hope that the UK Supreme Court will overturn a ruling that prevents a domestic abuse survivor from suing Sussex police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). The case, which the Supreme Court will hear on Wednesday and Thursday, concerns the disclosure of the survivor's address to her ex-partner, who was accused of rape and making death threats.
