European Court of Human Rights
If we end up there it could take a very, very long time.
Enhancing Parliament's role in relation to human rights judgments - Human Rights Joint Committee
1. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) is in crisis. It is a victim of its own success in establishing itself as the authoritative human rights court for 800 million citizens of 47 European countries. The number of cases currently pending before it is almost 120,000. The number of new applications in 2009 was almost 57,000, compared to 8,400 in 1999. Despite considerable improvements in the productivity of the Court, the gap between the number of decisions and judgments it delivers and the number of incoming applications remains large and continues to widen. So, not only is the backlog enormous, it is steadily getting worse: the Court simply cannot keep up with the influx of applications. Unless something radical is done, and done soon, there is a real risk that the Court will drown under the flood of applications,[1] and its widely recognised achievements as a champion of the values underpinning democracy and the rule of law in Europe will be undermined.Comment

"But it now has a backlog of some 120,000 cases - if it continues to work at its present pace, it would take 46 years to clear them, our correspondent says."

Just in case anyone wasn't aware of this.
Montpelier has committed to taking the case to ECtHR.
I'm not sure whether it would be worth keeping the forum going if we get there.Comment

I've received a few emails from people about the appeals process through the various courts. The following links should help explain.

BBC News - Today - A power supreme?
"I think we'll get an act of parliament in fairly dramatic terms which is probably not human rights compatible,"

The fact that a taxpayer has a system by which they place their bets, or that they are sufficiently successful to earn a living by gambling does not make their activities a trade.Last edited by SantaClaus; 6 August 2010, 18:47.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

ECHR judgement
Originally posted by SantaClaus View Postoh, it will probably amount to the debt of a third world country for every person on the scheme
and most recent verdict took 5 years - that was before the current backlog. So does this really mean this will be hanging over us for at least 5 years and possible more likely 10!Comment
