Your attendance will be appreciated, but no one that has to take time off from work.

Some of us aren't on Facebook!

Presumably Mr Hofman, if he has the sharp legal mind we anticipate, will be reading these discussions. Maybe the Facebook group is a safer place to talk strategy?

Cally, is it Lord Rotherwick's solicitor who has advised that a good attendance of residents is advisable?

I would have thought if the issue is a technical point of law, & the Magistrate disregards 100 letters and also the e-petition, she/he would also be likely to disregard attendance by residents also -- & perhaps even be irritated by a motley crew of people turning up.

I'm not sure I can afford to take the time off; but, before deciding, it would be good to know if it's the solicitors who have recommended this. Also, is there a Court Number or Case Reference that might speed up finding the relevant room?

Cally, would have loved to attend, however have been away from work (on hols!) for 17 days, went back yesterday and have today off for John's funeral. Cant take another day off! So I will have to bow out but will be there in thought!
