Full Hearing on Thursday

It looks like the hearing on Thursday is the Full Hearing not the permission stage. That is a good idea taking into account the timing issues.

For those who are interested. As far as Judicial Reviews go there are three stages:
  1. The "pre-action protocol". This started on 5th April, but was not responded to by the government.
  2. The permission stage, where a judge decides whether there is an arguable case
  3. The final hearing.

It appears (on the basis of phone calls I have just had) that we are now going for the full hearing on Thurday.

Further Comment (20/4): It turns out it is actually the Permission stage.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
