It was met with a furore by the rapist’s victims and in Parliament.
Sir Brian Leveson and Mr Justice Garnham will consider on Wednesday whether to allow the mayor of London and two of Worboys’ victims to apply for a judicial review.
If judges grant permission, they will set a date for a full judicial review hearing.

Harry Hambley may only be 18 but he is the creative force behind an internet sensation.
His cartoon ketnipz – which features a “bean” character and his amusing musings on life – has 335,000 followers on Instagram and even features on tattoos by some of his fans.
Just 18 months after the Cardiff teenager posted his first cartoon on social media, he has his own clothing range and has collaborated with Instagram Stories on a ketnipz “kindness sticker”.
He is now in talks about working with Snapchat, gift and card companies and publishers.
Media captionHarry Hambley is bringing positivity to the web – and Instagram has noticed
For Hambley – a self-confessed introvert – the success of his cartoon has been “mad”.
“I have a big audience in Singapore and the States,” he said.
Part of the popularity of his work is its positivity, off-beat humour and puns – something which prompted Instagram to contact him to work with them to create a “kindness sticker” for when users want to customise their pictures in Instagram Stories.
“It’s positivity which I’m trying to do but not in a preachy way,” he said.

“I feel that a lot of stuff becomes off-putting when it’s in your face, whereas what I’m trying to do is be more approachable…. giving off a good vibe and being something that’s quite comforting.
“I think there’s a lot of negativity online, especially recently. I think it’s too easy to be mean online.”

Hambley said he has been drawing for as long as he can remember – he preferred art to “being active” and doing sport when he was at the Welsh language secondary school, Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Plasmawr, in the Fairwater area of Cardiff.
He said his teachers were unhappy when he decided not to go to university but he was certain his future lay with his cartoons.
“I stuck to my guns and I’m definitely better off now,” he said.

“I think when my parents saw I was making money off it and I could make something of it, then they were more lenient. But all of my siblings had gone off to university and done the whole traditional route so they were naturally quite worried.
“But you should always do whatever you feel inspired by.”
Hambley started off drawing portraits and more complicated artwork – but he decided to simplify his work with ketnipz after creating the character while doodling.
He hand draws his cartoons on a digital tablet – a process that can take up to five hours – before uploading them to Instagram and Twitter. He aims to post one cartoon a day.
“Simple is good and I learnt that through doing complicated,” said Hambley, who still lives in his family home in the Llandaff area of Cardiff.
“Doing something complicated doesn’t guarantee success. It’s more about having a solid idea and then being able to communicate it easily.”
He is ambitious to grow his success and recently spent two months in Mexico promoting his cartoons and using the culture and art there as inspiration.
He has also spent time in Los Angeles and New York City, having meetings about his brand.
He now keeps American time – waking up in the afternoon to post for his audience there and to be available for meetings – and eventually sees himself relocating to New York.

But he insists he would be just as happy even if his cartoons did not have such a mass following.
“The thing about art for me is that a lot of the time it’s a way of expressing myself which I couldn’t do another way,” he added.
His actions were criticised by unionist politicians after footage of the incident was posted on social media.
Police said they “received a report of criminal damage” in Exchange Street, Belfast, at about 14:20 GMT that day.
“It is believed that damage was caused to the wheel-clamp of a car,” the PSNI spokeswoman added.
Sinn Féin said the matter is being dealt with by Mr Kelly’s solicitor.
The incident happened near the Metropolitan Arts Centre (MAC).
The clamp was fitted by a private company called Parking and Enforcement Agency (PEA).
Its spokesman told the Belfast Telegraph: “PEA is aware of this incident and has reported the matter to the PSNI as we do in all such cases.”
Mr Kelly is a former member of the Northern Ireland Policing Board, which holds the PSNI to account.
The leader of the Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) party, Jim Allister, criticised Mr Kelly on OP Radio Ulster.
“He, who sat in the Policing Board, pontificating about law and order issues, should now think that he can take the law in to his own hands and behaved in this manner needs to be called to account.
“Not just in respect of the criminal law, in regard to criminal damage, but in respect of public representation, by being removed as a public representative.”
Ulster Unionist MLA Roy Beggs tweeted: “Parking in a no-parking area, which reserves access for deliveries and emergencies, then damaging private property.
“What if everyone ignored yellow lines?
“Is Gerry special, above the rules that apply to you and me?”
Spanish newspaper El Pais reports that the bodies were found floating around 6-8km from Melilla’s coast.
The exact death toll has not yet been confirmed. Spanish rescue services resumed a search on Sunday morning.
The sea crossing between north Africa and southern Spain is increasingly favoured by migrants, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
So far in 2018, Spain has been the second most popular entry point for incomers to Europe. IOM figures say some 1,279 arrived there, while 4,256 went to Italy.
Not including those recovered this weekend, 243 migrants have already died or gone missing this year after trying to cross the Mediterranean.

Seven people have been injured – one critically – in a fire at a care home.
Emergency crews were called to the blaze at Woodlands View care home in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, at 16:30 GMT on Saturday.
Hertfordshire County Council said it appeared the fire was the result of a “minor explosion” caused by an oxygen cylinder.
One person is in a critical condition and six others are stable after being taken to Lister Hospital.
The fire was under control by 18:00 and all residents were evacuated from the building in Magpie Crescent.
A Hertfordshire County Council spokeswoman said: “There appears to have been a minor explosion caused by an oxygen cylinder but a full investigation will need to be carried out to confirm this.”
Hertfordshire Fire Service said the investigation was continuing and its crews would be at the scene “for some time”.

Eight fire engines, six ambulances and two air ambulances were sent to the scene.
The ambulance service said: “Ambulance crews have worked swiftly and effectively with colleagues in the police and fire service to evacuate the property and treat patients.”
Another 34 people were assessed by paramedics at the scene but did not require treatment.
Hertfordshire County Council said social services were working with the care home provider, HC-One, to move residents to alternative accommodation where necessary.

“We have noticed that so many procurement activities have taken place from the embassy,” said Mr Maassen, in an interview due to be broadcast on Monday.
“From our point of view, they were for the missile programme but also partly for the nuclear programme,” he added.
“When we see such things, we stop them. But we cannot guarantee that we spot and block each attempt.”
North Korea has not yet responded to Mr Maassen’s comments.
Media captionHow would war with North Korea unfold?
A separate investigation by public broadcaster ARD said Germany’s intelligence agency first saw signs of North Korea trying to procure technology and equipment in 2016 and 2017.
Meanwhile, a UN panel of experts has found evidence that showed North Korea had been helping Syria to develop chemical weapons as well as providing ballistic missiles to Myanmar.
The revelations come amid tensions over North Korea’s rapid advances in nuclear and conventional weapons programmes, which have reached their highest point in years.
Its latest ballistic missile test, on 28 November, sparked a new series of measures from the UN, targeting petrol shipments and travel for North Koreans.
The continued tests have also sparked a war of words between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Mr Trump, who has dubbed Kim Jong-un “rocket man”, met North Korean defectors in Washington on Friday and said he hoped that “something good” might come out of the Winter Olympics that start in South Korea on Friday.
It comes at a time of heightened tensions over the North’s nuclear ambitions, following a series of missile tests designed to demonstrate its nuclear capability.
As well as the ice hockey players, its athletes will compete in skiing and figure skating events.
The North is also sending hundreds of delegates, cheerleaders and performers.

The South Korean unification ministry has published pictures of the ice hockey team getting to know one another and celebrating a player’s birthday.
The BBC’s Laura Bicker, in Seoul, says it’s a bid to combat claims that South Korea’s players are being used as political pawns at their own home Olympics.

China has urged the US to drop its “Cold War mentality” after Washington said it planned to diversify its nuclear armoury with smaller bombs.
“The country that owns the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, should take the initiative to follow the trend instead of going against it,” China’s defence ministry said on Sunday.
The US military believes its nukes are seen as too big to be used and wants to develop low-yield bombs.
Russia has already condemned the plan.
What exactly is the new US policy?
The US is concerned about its nuclear arsenal becoming obsolete and no longer an effective deterrent. It names China, Russia, North Korea and Iran as potential threats.
The Pentagon document released on Friday, known as the Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), argues that developing smaller nuclear weapons would challenge that assumption. Low-yield weapons with a strength of under 20 kilotons are less powerful but are still devastating. The policy also proposes:
Land-based ballistic missiles, submarine-launched missiles, and air-delivered weapons – to be extensively modernised, as begun under ex-President Obama
Proposed modification of some submarine-launched nuclear warheads to give a lower-yield or less powerful detonation
The defence ministry in Beijing said Washington had played up the threat of China’s nuclear threat, adding that its own policy was defensive in nature.
“We hope that the United States will abandon its Cold War mentality, earnestly assume its special disarmament responsibilities, correctly understand China’s strategic intentions and objectively view China’s national defence and military build-up,” its statement said.
China has used the Cold War label before to criticise US policy. Late last year it denounced Washington’s updated defence strategy and urged the US to abandon “outdated notions”.
In the NPR document, the US accused China of “expanding its already considerable nuclear forces” but China defended its policy on Sunday saying it would “resolutely stick to peaceful development and pursue a national defence policy that is defensive in nature”.
How did Russia react?
The Russian foreign ministry accused the US of warmongering, and said it would take “necessary measures” to ensure Russian security.
“From first reading, the confrontational and anti-Russian character of this document leaps out at you,” it said in a statement on Saturday.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed “deep disappointment” at the plan.
