#justice4henharriers next step

As we head towards our two days in court on 5 and 6 December (when our judicial review of NE’s daft licensing of brood meddling will be heard – do indicate here if you are likely to attend) the latest milestone along the way has just been passed.

We’ve received what I believe are called the Detailed Grounds and Evidence from NE – basically, why they think that our and RSPB’s arguments are wrong.  I’m no lawyer so I won’t comment on them.

But I will be reading them carefully over the next few days.

We started this legal challenge back in January and so it has been coming and going in my life for almost eight months. There are a couple of months to go until we get to court and then almost certainly a month or two until we hear whether we have succeeded or failed.  Whichever it is, it will have been well worth the effort because this type of nonsense needs to be challenged.  Thank you to over 900 of you who put up your cash to fund this legal challenge.
