Khan climbdown: Palantir settles £50m Met row after fears of ‘unlawful’ bias

Palantir and Sadiq Khan have withdrawn their legal claims against one another, cancelling a High Court trial scheduled for January. The dispute centred on allegations that the London mayor blocked the US tech firm from a £50m Metropolitan Police contract due to concerns regarding its values and ethics. Palantir had pursued the legal action to challenge the decision and address fears of unlawful bias. Both Palantir and the Mayor's Office of Policing and Crime have now settled.
