Humpty Dumpty Judge has decision overturned

'Bill of Rights' Judge has an unarguable' decision overturned.

Quote:

Lawyers for the Prime Minister, Secretary of State for Defence and the Attorney General had argued it would be an "unwarranted shift of power" for the courts to make pronouncements on the Government's right to go to war.

The family's legal battle looked doomed last December when their application for a judicial review was blocked by Mr Justice Collins in the High Court on the basis that their case was "unarguable".

However, on Wednesday the appeal judges overturned that decision and said it was arguable. But, instead of following the usual procedure of sending the case back to the High Court for further hearing, the judges said the appeal court would hear the full application.

Meanwhile, Robin Decrittenden is preparing his case for the Court of Appeal.

It seems that Justice Collins is continually having cases over-turned, so will those who presented the original cases in front of him now be compensated for the wasted time and effort of standing before him when he is proved over and over again to be incorrect.

It is rumoured that the original Humpty Dumpty was pushed!

It seems high time that this one was pushed too.

Methinks Justice Collins may have political masters he 'needs' to please-has he not recently been promoted?
