Chat GPT, as usual, only gives part of the picture. General administrative communications from the court would normally go directly to the sol, but I’d say in a tribunal hearing such as this, leading counsel on both sides are likely to be sent to judgment directly, along with the sol. This may have been discussed by the panel at the end of the hearing. Even if not the case, Pannick will be notified by the sol immediately upon receipt, most likely by it simply being forwarded.
Plus both parties are likely to be sent an embargoed version in advance of the judgment being handed down to check for any factual or typographical errors. Inconceivable leading counsel on both sides won’t be directly involved in that part of the process.
In short, Chat GPT is wank.
Also worth noting (and it’s sometimes too easy to get sucked into overanalysing these things) but Pannick’s response was as follows:
“We are still waiting. No date yet for a decision.“
It may be a throwaway comment, or very carefully chosen words, but the reference to the date of the decision rather than the decision itself may be worth noting.
