Total insanity. Best of luck Kate.

happydappy2 · 06/02/2020 08:54

Am thinking of you too, hope for a sensible outcome

RoyalCorgi · 06/02/2020 08:59

@BustedWench - is the case today or tomorrow? And what time does it start? I couldn't find the court listings for St Albans magistrates court anywhere.

And good luck!

AnyOldSpartabix · 06/02/2020 09:29

Hope it goes well Kate.

DuLANGMondeFOREVER · 06/02/2020 09:35

Of all the women I know, you, Kate, are the least likely to back to back down to bullies. Just revisit that green hair, fuck you attitude we all had in the teenaged goth years.

Wish I could be there for you, but as you know, I live a long, long way from St A these days.

Be marvellous.

OldCrone · 06/02/2020 09:41

Good luck Kate.

Is Joani Walsh live tweeting? I can't find her on twitter at the moment.

nauticant · 06/02/2020 10:01

This might explain the absence of Joani Walsh:

Thinking of you Kate. Flowers Hoping for a sensible outcome.

Amalfimamma · 06/02/2020 10:29

The trial is at 10am today and tomorrow for the poster asking and apparently it's phones off so there maybe no live tweeting which is disappointing

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 06/02/2020 10:38

I hope the outcome is good for Kate (can't see how it won't be). Very interested in the bad character stuff about Hayden...

CuriousaboutSamphire · 06/02/2020 12:00

Still adjourned???

Waiting impatiently....

GlitterToast · 06/02/2020 12:04

Who is suing Kate, and on what grounds?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 06/02/2020 12:04

Good luck Kate Thanks thoughts with you

snowblight · 06/02/2020 12:09

It will be interesting to see what details come out.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 06/02/2020 12:11

Who is suing Kate, and on what grounds?

Who: A self professed solicitor, sorry, lawyer with a number of previous identities, some of which are male, some female.

Grounds: Referring to said person as him rather than the self preferred she

snowblight · 06/02/2020 12:18

She's not being sued, it's at a magistrates court.

Agreed

snowblight · 06/02/2020 12:25

This is a criminal trial

Indeed, and therefore it's important to make it clear that an independent decision has been taken to proceed, it is not an individual trans person taking legal matters into their own hands.

Somerville · 06/02/2020 12:26

Love you @BustedWench

ArranUpsideDown · 06/02/2020 12:28

She's not being sued, it's at a magistrates court.

^^ It's a CPS prosecution reflecting Communications Act S 127:

The Crown’s case against Mrs Scottow, a PhD student, refers to ‘making persistent use of a public electronic communications network’ for the purpose of ‘causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety’ to another under an obscure subsection of the Communication Act’s controversial section 127. It carries a potential six-month prison sentence.

Crown advocate Mr Siong said: ‘It is an unusual case involving allegedly criminal Twitter messages.’
Ms Wilson told the court: ‘There are two main issues. The first rests on whether Twitter is a public electronic communications network,’ which she said ‘had not been litigated in the high court’.

Good luck Kate.

HangingOffYourCloud · 06/02/2020 12:41

Good luck Kate, let's hope for some sanity today.

Cheering you on in solidarity, Kate. It should never have come to this.
