To Come

Closing arguments for AB, GCC, and SW (20 June)

It’s the summing up of this case

@ickky do you know if the same login details can be used on the 20th or do we need to request a new login?

Thank you

I looked this morning at the Central London ET list for June 20th but Allison's name wasn't there. It's most likely me, getting things wrong, but has anyone any further info about 20th? I was also wondering if we use the same login details as before.

.

I looked too, it's not listed yet. I will check on Monday and if not there, I will email them and enquire.

Oh thanks I'd forgotten we aren't just waiting for the judgement.

Does anyone have any idea how long it will take on Monday?
was determined to keep the day clear but I have a smear booked in the morning now!
( will try and have my video switched off for that )

If it's listed for the Monday it surely can't extend beyond that day - we saw how pressured time was during the actual hearing and if that had over run, it would have possibly gone into next year. They won't have the vagaries of witnesses to deal with at the summing up, so time management should be way easier too.

It may not take up the whole of Monday 20th. Bet it will though.

I may well take that day as a 'light research' day ... I think it's going to be very important.

I don't know about the log-ins, but for now I'm assuming they'll keep the same ones until I hear anything different on here.

Same. If they've got a day I bet they'll use it.

Seems we aren't the only ones...

Just came here to post that link! Loving this, too (photo).

I'll never be over Ben Cooper QC.😂

I emailed the tribunal peeps and they said that the original access link and pin should work for next Monday.

Also Prof Jo Phoenix has her first Case Management preliminary hearing today. Good Luck ProJo.

Yes, all the very best to Jo. I hope she comes back to report on MN, but I understand she must be really stressed and/or might want to keep her powder dry (so to speak).

She'll have Ben Cooper there with her, won't she? Hope so.

Thank you @ickky you are doing an amazing job.

Yes she has Ben Cooper and Naomi Cunningham on her team. Her garden is only half done, she needs more gardeners if anyone else is up to it. Just google Prof Jo Phoenix.

Just planted a few bulbs

Also Prof Jo Phoenix has her first Case Management preliminary hearing today. Good Luck ProJo

Good luck Jo, we're rooting for you. Literally, in the gardening sense.

Thanks - I was wondering if we needed new links or what. Do we know what time it starts? Is it going to be all day?

Also, have just dug a little for Jo.

I believe it starts at 10am on the 20th June. Not sure how long it lasts.

Thanks for confirming the log in Ickky.

Hmmm, got the electrician here on Monday and he says he needs to switch the power off. Legitimate excuse to take me and my laptop to the local hipster cafe for some decent coffee and homebakes?

GodisaBC 😂
thanks for the new thread ickky

100% legitimate Womenslandarmy

Doooooo iiiiiittt

Legit for sure @WomensLandArmy

I know the summing up will be the 20th. Do we expect the judgement then also, given the length of time between final submissions and the summing up?

And thanks @ickky for all the threads. I have been an enthusiastic lurker.
