Sheriff puts Bank of Scotland to proof on bank charges

[Bigdebtor]

Is this the 'grown up' equivalent of ARE WE THERE YET DAD??

 

DAD: "Nearly there son - nearly there!

 

SEE THAT BL**DY IDIOT ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!!:mad:"

 

MUM: "Keep calm dear! We'll not get there any quicker just because you're cursing the others going in the opposite direction". :rolleyes:

We'll not get there any quicker just because you're cursing the others going in the opposite direction

Works for me though!

[Bigdebtor]

Me too. It's a man thing!

 

BD

[Bookworm]

Probably. This woman thing is to curse the people going in the same direction as her more slowly and not getting out of the way, stopping her from getting there faster than she otherwise would.

[HSBCrusher]

thats the truth

[breeze1996]

I really do wonder if the banks will ever payout, but we could all do with the money back so we can pay more tax.

[Guest wino]

Just tuned in folks. Are we expecting a decision in the GLC case today?

[landy_alert]

I just checked on the 'doggy site' and someone said they telephoned GLC at around 2pm - Mike Dailly was not back from court at that time, but GLC apparently said their website will be updated when any news is available................

[robnfc]

Monday before we hear anything I'm guessing ???

[EricTheRed]

This seems to have little or no press coverage which is disappointing.

[rebel11]

May not worth reporting, maybe the Judge needs some extra time to consider matters.

[srfrench]

JUst curious if this was an actual hearing or was it just an evidential meeting prior to the full hearing?

[Docman]

I wouldn't worry aout the lack of press coverage. If the bank had won, their PR department would have been shouting from the rooftops. More likely a technical draw ie the judge has adjourned either because he granted more time to the bank to come up with more excuses or because he needs some time to write down a judgment that the bank can't wriggle out of on appeal.

[srfrench]

Indeed, lets hope it was the latter. Well put by the way

Or.

because he needs some time to write down a judgement that the bank CAN wriggle out of on appeal.

Hsbcfiddled,

 

Precisely.

is no news really good news , or is it just late news?

[kennyh]

At the risk of half the population jumping down my throat - I can't find a damned thing on the GLC websites (old & new); anyone??

[Bookworm]

nope, me neither, not since the original announcement, and it WAS listed on the court docket on Friday, but that's all.

[Dipply75]

This is the last update on the GLC website for this...which I see has been changed in the last few days....lots more legal info included. Will have to read thoroughly to see if there are clues to what happened on Friday:

 

Govan Law Centre: Scottish bank charge cases: amended pleadings

[johnnymitch]

We must also remember that this was a private case that the GLC took on, and if it's still 'sub -judice' then they can't say too much about it until the good judge makes up his mind and puts it in writing .....

 

Any speculation could be detrimental .......

[HSBCrusher]

Any speculation could be detrimental .......

indeed.

 

wait till we hear something official.

[Dipply75]

Yes, of course

 

The anticipation is killing me!

[srfrench]

Nothing yet. 8)
