It has also been reported that Mr Bean served as a treasurer for the Society of Labour Lawyers which provides policy and legal advice to Labour."
"Barrister Steven Barrett has referred Mr Bean to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) who supports the Lord Chancellor and the Lady Chief Justice who are responsible for judicial discipline. Barrett said that Lord Justice Bean "should not have heard the Bell Hotel appeal," therefore made the complaint to the JCIO on Thursday, he cited "public trust and confidence in the judiciary." Following the High Courts ruling on Friday Barrett wrote, "'I highlighted this issue before the judgment - because it was an issue already.""
Lord Justice Bean overturned an injunction and ruled that the Bell Hotel in Epping can remain open to house migrants. Bean sat with two other judges who also ruled in favour of the Home Office. Bean has prior involvement with Labour-linked organisations, including founding Matrix Chambers, chairing the Fabian Society in 1989–1990, and serving as treasurer for the Society of Labour Lawyers. Barrister Steven Barrett referred Bean to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office citing apparent bias and concerns about public trust in the judiciary. Nigel Farage criticised the ruling and the Home Office defended hotel accommodation on human-rights grounds.
