Yep the whole relevance of the JR ,we can't answer only the judge and it looks possible to be kicked again Into the long grass .
IS someone not looking for a resolution here ?
In fairness at the point of the original application for the JR it was reported that the Council wanted as early a court date as possible. From reading Simon Gilbert's tweets the SISU QC seems to be pushing for the same. I think both sides want this to get in front of a judge, which perhaps suggests they both think they've got a fair shout of a result.
It does sound as if SISU haven't quite got their way today: They've been given access to the ACL minutes from Aug 2012 (which the Council volunteereed at the start of the hearing). However they haven't been granted access to the notes from individual Councillors (Duggins and Mutton), they haven't been allowed to submit Joy Sepalla's 110 page statement(!), and they haven't been allowed to introduce expert evidence from their side supporting their contention that the ACL deal was a bad one.
Costs for this hearing, and the JR, to be decided after the JR.
