Gonçalo Amaral confirms he will appeal the damages decision to higher Court.

[Mr Gray]

Would it be mathematically correct to  describe them as a handful of PJ Davel?

I think kates description is more accurate

[stephen25000]

I think kates description is more accurate

No, it's far more applicable To 2 other people.

Statement
Projecto Justiça Gonçalo Amaral (PJGA) was set up by a group of his friends on 1 November, 2009, in response to the decision by Gerry & Kate McCann to take legal action against Gonçalo Amaral and others.

The McCanns sought not only to suspend sales of the book “Maddie: A Verdade da Mentira”, but to demand the sum of €1,2 million from Dr. Amaral.

A second injunction succeeded in freezing Dr. Amaral's assets and income, denying him the opportunity to defend himself in court.

On 20 November 2009, a defence fund was launched. Its purpose was to help enable Dr. Amaral to fight the legal action that was brought against him by the McCanns.

The fund has remained at all times independent of Dr Amaral. It is beyond reach of any compensation claim. Any funds remaining after all legal expenses are met are to be donated to a Portuguese children's charity.

In April 2015, as the legal action dragged on and costs were becoming difficult to handle, an approach was made to the friends who created PJGA, suggesting that a GoFundMe page be launched to generate additional funds.

PJGA cooperated with Leanne Baulch, who fronted this part of the appeal, to bring this to being on 29 April 2015.

Let us be clear: all donations made to the GoFundMe page, minus the commission deducted automatically by GoFundMe, were paid directly into the one bank account that has been held by friends of Dr Amaral since PJGA was created.

Leanne, having successfully promoted the GoFundMe page, handed over its control to the group of friends who coordinate PJGA, for personal reasons that are unrelated to the legal action. We are hugely grateful for her initiative.

On 21 October 2015, when it was considered that sufficient funds had been raised, it was decided the GoFundMe page would be closed on 28 October 2015.

The fund has been able to support Dr Amaral in his successful appeal against the McCanns' actions and at this moment contains adequate funds for a sound legal defence should the case be brought to Supreme Court. PJGA will continue to support Dr Amaral's legal costs should this happen. The PJGA legal defence fund remains open.

For the purpose of clarity, the suggestions of impropriety by anyone connected with the defence fund are false.

The group of friends and Mr Amaral himself remain eternally grateful for your support in allowing a man to defend himself in court and for justice to prevail.

We will endeavour to keep you informed as and when we receive further information regarding the re-appeal.

Thanks for that G-Unit.

And that no doubt really rankles with you - that they provided the where withal for Amaral to defend his case.

The mccann supporters have yet to get over, let alone comprehend the importance and implications of last week's judgement.

#doesn't  rankle me at all... I would be shocked of these people actually had something genuine to say rather than the lies they believe,,,,it reinforces the weakness of the arguments used by those who attack the mccanns

The weakness is the abduction thesis.

Gone nowhere, for very obvious reasons.

Indeed. Obvious from the beginning that it would be a dead-end.

could you tell me why the abduction thesis is a weakness...do you think amarals body in  a coffin is more likely

[G-Unit]

the fund was supported by people who had been misled ...who had been fed and believed lies.....that is an absolute fact proved by the comments on the site...

there is no evidence the abduction is a myth,,,just your opinion again

No-one cares what the supporters or the MSM  think, davel. Whatever their reasons, people donated to give a man his day in court. The judgement justifies what they did. Without it he may not have been able to appeal and a flawed judgement would have stood.

[stephen25000]

The intelligent ones among us can see the mccanns have lost big time, and the abduction thesis is dead in the water.

How do you reach that conclusion Stephen?  The trial was concerned solely with amarals right to freedom of speech.

[G-Unit]

Some of you don't seem to have grasped what's happened, Amaral won his appeal, all the points raised by the first judge were refuted and the McCann's legal action against Amaral was deemed unfounded (without merit).
