Jacobs, owner of Jacobs Media Group, is hoping to initiate a legal challenge on behalf of the travel industry, demanding the government reveal the methodology and data behind its decisions to place countries on the traffic light system. If it can be proved decisions were based on politics rather than data, he believes compensation will be owed to the industry
Jacobs told TTG the idea was borne from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “defiance against the government”, after the British composer and theatre impresario threatened legal action if he wasn’t able to open theatres on 21 June.
