The Lockerbie Case: Ninth (public) procedural hearing

Wednesday, 26 November 2008

Ninth (public) procedural hearing

A further procedural hearing will take place in the High Court on Thursday, 27 November (and on Friday 28th, if more time is required). This hearing will consider (a) the protocol regarding the rôle of the special (security vetted) advocate which the parties were instructed to negotiate in relation to the mystery document in respect of which the UK Foreign Secretary claimed public interest immunity; (b) a further petition for disclosure of documents submitted by the appellant's legal team, along with any answers lodged by the Lord Advocate on behalf of the Crown and the Advocate General on behalf of the UK government; and (c) case management issues, including time-tabling and the order in which the appellant's grounds of appeal should be argued.

Very hopefully the long overdue truth isn't further delayed intentionally for the Damage of Libya and at the Cost of Mr. Abdelbaset Al Megrahi's Life!

Readers are invited to comment on blog posts. All comments require to be pre-moderated by me, and I shall reject all (a) that are not related to the Lockerbie disaster or (b) that fail to meet my -- perhaps idiosyncratic -- standards of courtesy towards other contributors. Comments will not be rejected simply because I disagree with them or because I, or other contributors, find them irritating. But comments will be rejected if they distort or misrepresent the evidence; are defamatory; or if they risk embroiling me, as publisher, in defamation proceedings. I am perfectly relaxed about being sued in respect of material which I personally have posted -- but not in respect of material that others wish to post as comments and which, in any case, I often strongly disagree with.

Particularly during my sojourns in South Africa, it may not be possible for me to perform the moderation function speedily. I regret the necessity of moderation but it has been rendered inevitable by the behaviour of a particular commentator whose contributions will always and without exception be rejected.

No correspondence will be entered into regarding moderation decisions.
