I don't know but Jones mentioned it toward the end of the interview. I will be interested in hearing how the "debate" goes at Town Hall, if it is on at a convenient time and date I may even roll up to watch Clover do battle with Rough Trade. It does…
What is the basis of the class action? If it is the loss of a right to free use of a limited public space to park a vehicle then wouldn’t it be interesting if courts found that no such right exists ?
I would love to know what is happening with this class action against the CofS. Hopefully it will fall over.
