Not sure if it is today or next week. Do we know if this is open like the tribunals?

Just reading this article in guardian about the case

6 days, i'm told.

Pyjamagame · 09/09/2022 10:32

Surely all this case is going to do is lay out bare for all to see how transgender ideology is deeply homophobic?

IcakethereforeIam · 09/09/2022 10:32

Is there any guess as to how long the case will take?

Pyjamagame · 09/09/2022 10:29

Thanks Nauticant. Just sent a request to have access, but according to the autoreply it emails can take up to 10 days to get a response.

Tribunal Tweets it is then (they provide a sterling service).

I just have the 'Waiting for the conference host to join' message

Ameanstreakamilewide · 09/09/2022 10:17

Is anyone in? TT Tweeted the session has begun...

Will their star witness be back?

SelfPortraitWithFoxInSmokingJacket · 09/09/2022 10:01

Thank you, nauticant! That was what I was after.

picklemewalnuts · 09/09/2022 09:56

Will it go ahead? I thought some things have to stop.

nauticant · 09/09/2022 09:55

Correction: the hearing will be streamed over a video platform, CVP.

May be this?

If you want to listen to the hearing write to [email protected] about case CA/2021/0013 - Mermaids vs Charity Commissioner and LGB Alliance and ask for permission to join. You then have to provide certain information and agree to a judge's direction in order to be able to join.

Sorry, wasn't clear - I can find Tribunal Tweets easily, but was hoping for details on how to watch it. They do a brilliant job but I find it much easier to follow as an observer.

NecessaryScene · 09/09/2022 09:38

We understand this is the first time one charity has sought to remove charitable status from another.

NecessaryScene · 09/09/2022 09:37

Right, but Tribunal Tweets hadn't posted anything about it until half an hour ago, hence this thread.

Lovelyricepudding · 09/09/2022 09:31

I was reading an update on their crowd funder yesterday and found tribunal tweets in seconds.

SelfPortraitWithFoxInSmokingJacket · 09/09/2022 08:39

Anyone on Twitter who can ask?

SelfPortraitWithFoxInSmokingJacket · 09/09/2022 08:36

My best guess, after some fairly fruitless googling, is the Court of Appeal Civil Division youtube channel...? But can't find it listed. Argh. I don't understand why they haven't sent details to everyone who's crowdfunded.

Pyjamagame · 09/09/2022 08:27

Just came on to ask about this. Can't see anything on Twitter. Anyone have any idea how we can follow this?

It is frustrating. I am a regular giver and contributed to the crowd funder.

I think the result of the fundraising claims challenge might have cowed them a bit.

There is a thread from yesterday

SelfPortraitWithFoxInSmokingJacket · 09/09/2022 08:03

I think it is today, and Bev Jackson tweeted that people in the UK would be able to watch and others to follow on Tribunal Tweets - but I can't find details anywhere on how to log in. Will go off and do some more googling but it's frustrating that the LGB Alliance hasn't publicised it (or Mermaids, indeed).
