Hi Folks,

There is a proverb that begins, “The wheels of justice grind slowly…,” which certainly seems to be the case for our campaign. However, the good news is, that I have an update from National Association of Retired Police Officers.

“Today at the Manchester District Registry, a High Court Judge considered and determined the Defendant’s (Secretary of State for the Home Department) application to strike out our claim in respect of our legal proceedings.

This is an extremely complex procedural case and the Judge heard submissions from both parties. At the conclusion I am happy to report that the Judge did not strike out our claim.

However, he did direct that in 14 days we should be in a position to lay the claim through the appropriate legal process.

Therefore, over the coming days, ourselves and our legal team will consider the Judge’s direction and decide which is the best course of action to successfully pursue our claim.”

The aforementioned proverb goes on to say, “…but grind exceedingly fine,” which implies that justice will prevail in the end no matter how slow the process; I for one find that a comforting thought.

Best wishes as always,

Cathryn
