Libel case - Permission to Appeal decision



I have been granted permission to appeal on one ground relating to Mark James’ counterclaim, and my legal team have now filed a request with the Court of Appeal for an oral hearing at which I will renew my application for permission on other grounds relating to both my claim and the counterclaim.

I am awaiting confirmation and a date for that oral hearing from the Court of Appeal.

William McCormick QC will appear on my behalf.

17th September;

The hearing date has now been listed for the 16th December 2013 at the Royal Courts of Justice.

Good luck in December Jacqui. I hope that you have a successful outcome. You have really stood up to the council on your own.
