DENIED 
LA have been ordered to submit their response by Monday and an observation made that they hadn't asked for advice until the deadline which was "of concern"
Clarification for them that the appeal submitted was in good order and whilst not detailing specific amendments wanted it contained sufficient information for the LA to respond.
Maybe they'll call off the AR (offered on application to strike out and hastily convened) now as that seemed to be offered on the assumption the appeal would be thrown out who knows
.
It feels good to know that suddenly after all their games they are going to have to comply with due process after all.
