Wishing her the very best of luck. twitter.com/MForstater/status/1402310977115279362?s=20

I'll be absolutely gutted if the original decision isn't overturned, but at least her case has let a lot of sunlight in.

Gosh, this is going to be big. Have got everything crossed. Thanks for the post OP.

ValancyRedfern · 08/06/2021 18:37

Feeling anxious already!

Chrysanthemum5 · 08/06/2021 18:39

@ValancyRedfern me too I'm trying to keep positive by remembering all the clarity which was discussed at the judgement session

FannyCann · 08/06/2021 18:40

Ooh. It's going to be a big day. I really ought to be able to tell work I'm too busy to come in on these days. FOMO.
Fingers crossed for Maya.

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 08/06/2021 18:40

Maya must be accustomed to feeling on edge and unsettled because this has dragged on for so long but even so it must be odd to have a time and date for the announcement (by email).

I hope that for the sanity of discussion in the social arena that the judgment is in her favour.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 08/06/2021 18:56

Maya will know the outcome, that's why she is very sensibly staying off SM. Contempt of court to leak a judgment in advance. I got twitchy for Harry the Owl when he was doing his tick tocks, silence is best at this stage!
Good luck Maya.

OhSister · 08/06/2021 19:05

Maya you are a hero and an inspiration.

Hoping with everything I have for the only sane judgement on Thursday. Wishing you vindication, a sense of pride in what you've achieved (win or lose), and a well earned break from all the stress and drama you've so unjustly had to deal with. Thank you for standing up for yourself, and for all of us and our daughters.

Good luck Maya x I still have my radicalised by mumsnet sticker.

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 08/06/2021 19:24

I have my fingers crossed for her.

Is this court procedure that Maya will already know the outcome?
CardinalLolzy · 08/06/2021 19:27

Maya will know the outcome
Why do you say that?

Anyway, yes, no idea how this will go. Fingers Xd.

SeaShoreGalore · 08/06/2021 19:27

Hope it goes well!

Mollyollydolly · 08/06/2021 19:28

I feel nervous already. Everything cross.

heathspeedwell · 08/06/2021 19:33

Whatever happens Maya has already won. Her bravery in speaking up has led to sunlight on these issues. Without Maya then JK Rowling might not have risked so much to speak out.

Exactly. It is obviously, about establishing stuff in law. But it's also about shining sunlight on things that people are not yet aware of.
YourSexNotGenderIsOnFire · 08/06/2021 19:39

Yes. It's called an embargoed judgment.

This. Keeping everything crossed for a good outcome. We're so lucky to have wonderful women like Maya prepared to risk so much.

Thank you Maya, 🤞🏻

I hope so too, unfortunately we have seen it so many times where it so absurdly goes the other way.

PearPickingPorky · 08/06/2021 20:00

Oh god. My stomach just dropped when I read this thread title. I bloody hope she's won. It'll be an absolute travesty if not.

To be fair, if she loses there will be MILLIONS of people using their freedom of speech to prove that the law is wrong. One could probably make an argument for Maya losing being the quickest path to a return to sanity... but I hope she wins, obviously.

Same here!!! This is going to be so nerve wracking.

True. My mother would have said, "You can pray for the best but steel yourself for the worst." Yes, that pretty much was as optimistic as she got and I've adopted that.
eurochick · 08/06/2021 20:40

Good luck Maya!

As someone has mentioned, judgments are often released to the parties a few days in advance of being officially given, under strict embargo, so that any typos or miscalculations can be picked up before it is issued and the parties can be ready to deal with costs or ask for permission to appeal when it is officially handed down. It would be contempt of court to give away the result in advance.

Manderleyagain · 08/06/2021 20:55

Oh god I can't cope with this! At least it's only 2 days of nerves. I really really hope it has gone the right way. Good luck maya & team!
