Plans to almost triple the size of the Wimbledon tennis site are proceeding after a legal challenge from Save Wimbledon Park was dismissed by a High Court judge. The campaign group had argued that the proposal for new courts and a stadium was unlawful due to land protections. However, the Greater London Authority and the All England Club maintained that such restrictions do not apply to the site.

The near breach of the Greater London Authority's financial rules only came to light following a chance investigation by its internal counter fraud team.
