Yesterday The Friends of Finsbury Park case was heard by the Court of Appeal (Lord Justices Hickinbottom, Singh and Treacy) in court 70 of the Royal Courts of Justice, and heard argument from the parties (Richard Harwood QC for the Friends of Finsbury Park; George Laurence QC for the Open Spaces Society; Philip Kolvin for Haringey Council and Robert McCracken QC for Wireless Festival). The Court of Appeal thanked the parties for their legal arguments and observed that this was a very interesting case. A reserved judgment was given, which means that they will go away to write their judgements and deliver them in the next month or so. We will post the judgement as soon as we have it.

A huge thanks to all of you who have donated and supported our campaign so far. We have received over £5,000 of donations and with seven days to go we need to raise more so please donate if you haven’t already! https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/protectlondonsparks/
