aweebluesoandso 290 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 No they don't. I was involved case that went to the high court in Edinburgh, we were told about six weeks before it was recorded we had won it. Then it went to appeal, when we were told about two weeks in advance we had lost the appeal. Maybe our QC hacked the Judges computer who's knows?

I am not certain about this I think you might find that the QC's are given sight of a draft judgement in case they feel any corrections might be justified e.g. the judgement says they argued A when they say that they actually argued B. These suggested amendments might go back to the court for consideration before the final judgement is handed down. This would avoid any dispute on a matter of the law argued. It would also mean that they would be able to say on the day whether they were minded to accept the judgement or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first notice i got was a phone call from our solicitor saying the QC was indicating from chambers we had won the case, but the official ruling would follow in a month, it duly followed we received the judges ruling in about six weeks as there was a break of some kind, that senior judge's attend , The first tier ruling was know at least six weeks before it was officially declared that is a fact.

Scott7 5,298 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Two things: Judges and Counsel lunch together in a sumptuous dining room. Words to the wise, gypsy's warnings, nods and winks. Stenos, transcribers, printers and binders gossip. Whatever, let's hope it's true. btw, I'm just assuming the dining room is sumptuous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,318 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Well, the Sons of Struth were saying that they got their info from a reliable source/informer. Ifs, buts, and maybes won't get us very far here, as the aforementioned can vary significantly from case to case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,840 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Worth remembering that the legal process can drag on and be unpredictable when thinking about timescales and the live cases (takeovers; 2011 & 2012) that will see some 'activity' next week and that may go on to have significant repercussions for our football club. Four years ago we were being told that the tax tribunal would come up with a judgement in the November sitting (2011) of the 'Big Tax Case, that would crystalise the amount the club would owe HMRC. It was taken for granted that HMRC were going to 'win'. Edited October 9, 2015 by buster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
