Judicial Review – Needs YOU

Hi –
Permission to Repost



Judicial
Review – Needs YOU



Yes
it certainly does and the questions as to what you can do may be many, so based
on what I’ve read on the mails let’s see if I can allay any fears

Venue:
Court-Room 76 The Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand, London

Dates: 11 & 12 Feb. Times: 10:00/10.30 start 13:00- 14:00 Lunch 16:30/17:00 End



So
how can you help?



Court
Room 96 holds over 100 people and doesn’t include counsel. It has a speaker
system, the seats are movable and light. More space can be made and spaces for
wheelchair. Extra seats can be got from the court next door if needed.



Outside the court there is some seating in recesses around a small lobby and
then 2 quiet rooms for people attending the court. Disabled loos on the same
floor.



The ushers and they understand that people will be attending who need water
during the day and people with low blood sugar, who may need to eat a small
biscuit every now and then. It was the same as other disabled groups who have
attended cases there. So anyone coming can bring their own little survival pack
and quietly use these rooms.



For public
conveniences outside the Royal Courts of Justice on The Strand.

There is
one (for men and for women) located in a traffic "island" in the
middle of the Road just outside and opposite the RCJ.



What is
needed in my opinion is, as many as possible to come even if it is for a
short period, if you are a morning person or an afternoon person, come when you
can and when you gotta go, you gotta go. The fact of a changing audience is three
fold. If the Judge sees the transition of the audience.

1. It shows there are more with the
illness.

2.
It shows its
severity and unpredictability.

3. It shows that there is support
from those who matter, the rank and file.

I’ll be
there, how about you? Or should I say “yes I bloody well will”.
