Sara Morrison vs Belfast Film Festival - Thread 2

[TwoLoonsAndASprout]

Continuation of previous thread - don’t have all the details to hand to add here, so if someone can pop them on, pls do! Want to get this up quickly!

But the chances of two Deborah Boyds on tribunals is tiny.

Can we ask those in the room?

OMG I’ve just caught up on all the drama.

Given how well NC was building her case she wouldn’t take this action without just cause.

Another pedantic note.

In the UK we don't say "take the stand". It's in the witness box, or witness testimony or something the witness said in testimony at the previous hearing.

We don't have gavels either.

IANAL but did study law.

I wish I was actually a beetle on the wall when this all kicked off this morning before court.

Thank you - this is like I'm the Slim Shady no the real Slim Shady, all the other Slim Shadys are just imitatin'

Oooooo

Is this the one?

From NW

J has returned. New application?
NC not an application. additional info. a note.
J I don't have it - do you have it SD?
SD no, but if the claimant wants to put lipstick on this pig of an application...

how rude!

You what now?

From NW

J there's a way of doing things here - you can't just keep adding things - but I'll let you do it
NC there wasn't any other way of us doing it as it wasn't in our hands until a minute ago
NC it is a handwritten note by a journalist who was in the room on tuesday which was...

And again...

Bloody hell.

Literally on the edge of seat

Wow that is astonishingly rude!!

And an unfortunate phrase to use, given the context.

Me too, I need to call my dad, but also need to read this.

Sorry dad.

Oh how I hope Naomi and Charlotte have MASSIVE gins waiting for them this evening. What a way to spend a Friday afternoon.

Did he not get chastised for that absolutely epic rudeness?

It's gloves off/wigs off/put your dukes up at the trib today!
But I'd cut SD a bit of slack, he has been blindsided.

Now we're suckin' diesel

I have only limited experiences of barristers at work but a capability for epic rudeness seemed to be mandatory.

I literally just took my iPad to the loo in case.

Sorry MN.

I'm not so sure, he must have known her views, whether he thought journalists would complain is a different matter.

Is it a reference to Sarah Palin?
