The Judge has given a time
estimation of two days but the decision handed down refers to
matters being heard on a rolled up basis. I believe this
means that at the hearing week commencing 28 September 2020 to
ensure matters are resolved without undue delay the parties need
to be prepared to make their full submissions of any grounds
upon which the court are minded to give either permission to
appeal or permission to bring judicial review proceedings and
the court decides to retain the claim.

TRANSCRIPT
Update (as
at 24 November 2020) following Court of Appeal hearing.
Simon Dolan
The hearing
took place over two days 29-30 October in the very grand
Court 4 at the Royal Courts of Justice which is the Lord
Chief Justice’s Court. The three appeal judges included the
Lord Chief Justice himself, Lord Burnett of Maldon and two
other appeal judges Lady Justice King and Lord Justice
Singh.
The Judges
have not as yet returned a verdict.
On the 5th
November the UK was locked down for a second time this time
a date of 2nd of December was given for re-opening up. It is not
understood how anyone could know there were favourable
results from the testing for the alleged virus at this time. Indeed the chances
of any improvement would be nil as the policy is to test as
many people as possible and more tested obviously will give
a result of more false negative results.
However,
SIMON DOLAN's team of barristers have updated their case as
a result of the second lock down.
The legal team has made amends to the 2nd Judicial
Review meaning that it’s arguments are in relation not only
to the first national lockdown but also include the SECOND
lockdown currently taking place in England. The Re-Amended
Statement of Facts and Grounds have been filed with the
Court and the Government has been served with them. (23
