Not entirely, but with the government white paper on the horizon, the PL cannot risk any damage to the integrity of their internal regulatory processes - so whilst on the face of it there is no recourse to challenge the actual decision in court, the reality for the PL of any assessment by the courts of their processes either directly or in obiter could have serious implications on how the government choose to proceed

It won't though. The rules literally say the opposite.Maybe, but when it comes to it that will be for the court to decide, not the PL.

I read that as if you want to challenge the rules
themselves rather than arbitration of the application of them.
Almost as if it was written by Lord Pannick even before the press knew we had instructed him…hmmmmLook I am no expert but the PL charge sheet put out early yesterday appeared unintelligible to me. Now I know I understand very little about their rule book but the presentation to me look like a school project. After four years you would think they would have come up with something more impressive.
Our response in contrast was short sharp and to the point.

Right, so we're being told we have no access to natural justice ?I see, thanks.
Must say I am now far less confident although I know you have written that the fact it's an Arsenal ST holder shouldn't actually mean anything bad.

Work on the basis we aren't going to court for this - not for the trial of the facts anywayI read that as if you want to challenge the rules

Looks that way. PL get to find us guilty no matter what, decide the outcome and then the only appeal hearing is by the PL again.

True....Oh come it’s his first post, I’m sure we can trust him
My man! I knew this idea we can't take the PL decision to the courts was nonsense.The PL handbook stated exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts, which certainly doesn't rule out High Court then Supreme Court if needed, but County Court is unlikely :)
