Well done JD. We're on the threshold. You've put us there.

Congrats.

I think a Special thanks has to go to JD and to everyone on TDO who supported us

But what about those that didn't?

Have you not any kind words of commiseration for them?

I understand the time limit on the appeal of this case could be three months but I'll find out tomorrow.

What appeal??

My understanding is that their only course of appeal is to the House of Lords, but they can't take it there without permission from the Court of Session - and even if that is granted the House of Lords can choose whether to hear it or not.

Surely the Court of Session won't entertain this, and the Lords wouldn't waste their time even if they were asked.

If there is even a scrap of intelligence in CEC licensing and/or legal services then they have to realise they are at the end of the road.

How much more public money are they prepared to squander?

They'd be better off writing to Santa Claus.

I think the Lords would p*** themselves laughing if asked to hear this.

Not exactly their top priority methinks.

Precisely.

I was referring to the House of Lords but as I said I will find out tomorrow.
They can apply direct to the House of lords appeals committee and they will decide whether or not the case has enough public interest to merit a Lords hearing. In England and Wales they wouldn't be given leave to appeal. In Scotland they don't need permission from the courts, so I believe.

That is my understanding.

You are right in everything else you say.

Regards

JD
