To Come

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

Hello, I am also relying on the old PIN working. Could someone poss pm me if it is a new one please?

Placemarking

Up ridiculously early. Sent request for new PIN yesterday and hoping for a response when they get in this morning. Are we expecting a 10am start again today?

What's the email address to request a new PIN, please? I'm really hoping the old one works.

From the OP:

Checking in.

Placemarking

That felt remarkably even-handed for the Graurdian

When I asked for a PIN for today the reply says the access link and PIN remain the same for the duration of the hearing so, if the summing up is part of the hearing, the original PINS should still be valid.

Ah, that's encouraging.

Posting to remember for later.

I can log in and get the waiting for the conference host to join message but obviously don't know if this will eventually be connected.

Please if you get an email from the tribunal about logging in could you post to let us know.

Yes it is a pretty straight forward and accurate description. I think because it's by the legal correspondent. It reads like proper journalism - by an outsider looking in, detail about the case and the legal points, plus the context of the wider debate and the case's significance there.

What time does it kick-off today?

Cheers,

P

Oh good! I forgot to ask for a new pin following allison's email on Friday.

I'm in on the old link and PIn but not sure if it's a 10am or 9.30 start.

Me too, let's hope we are in the right room.

I think it is 10am start today.

Thanks ickky

I can get into the waiting room too. I did request a new pin just in case, but not received anything yet.

TT have said it's 10am.

Can't wait for beautiful Ben. Missed him so much.

I used my previous pin and seem to have got through to the waiting room OK.

Nothing happening yet.

I followed the main hearing on here but not directly so have no link to follow (or a PIN), I’ve asked for this time but no response. Is there any way to access the original link and PIN? Would it be allowed for someone to DM me that? Would like to follow bits of it today as and when I’m free.

I'm in, I'm waiting. I've a coffee and celebratory spliff ready. Everything crossed.

Excited to see Ben, the support wren and hopefully Judges support cat.

Whatever happens THANK YOU ALLISON!!! In awe of her for pursuing this.
