Lewes District Council - costs

[Screaming J]

Re: Re: Lewes District Council - costs

The first paragraph is completely ridiculous. There was no obligation on LDC to name anyone other than Prescott as a defendant. But they chose to involve the City Council and the Football Club.

They now seem to be trying to cover their backs by suggesting that the case might drag on because of the active involvement of these two extra defendants.

And if they are now opening up the possibility that a protracted case might lead them to reconsider whether to keep it going, I would simply urge the Albion to book three days of High Court time to force their hand.

Lewes DC could end up being laughed out of Court - all because of the stupid way they have handled this. If their case collapses, because they can't afford to see it through, then they will lose any credibility they have, even in the eyes of their supporters.

They should reconsider their position NOW, before they make complete fools of themselves.

Presumably if the Albion hadn't become actively involved after being 'named' LDC could then have made hay in terms of PR etc by claiming we weren't committed to Falmer
