McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[Mr Gray]

Is this the same informed opinion and research you used when you insisted that Gonçalo Amaral would not be able to appeal against the ruling which awarded 500.000 € + interest to the McCanns.

Is it obvious from reading the acordão that the SC did examine the evidence when making their decision and they also used rulings by the ECHR to support it.

please stick to the facts...I never claimed that...you are obviously confused...cite required or remove

[Snowgirl]

The ECHR is not an appeals court and does not overturn rulings made in national courts. The McCanns case will be against the state of Portugal, not against Gonçalo Amaral or the book or the other 3 defendants.

That's what I understand  .  So why  did the Sun  make up lies  leading their readers astray ?

the same reason they have made up lies re others over the last 20 yeras...you obvioulsy havent noticed

[Montclair]

Then why is GA waiting to hear the outcome before suing the McCanns?

Have you asked him personally if he is waiting for the outcome? Cases like this if accepted can take up to 7 years and this one would in no way be considered urgent. That's a long wait, I'm sure that he has better things to do with his life.

One journalist in Portugal received a favourable verdict this year from the ECHR 5 years after he made his claim. The ECHR ruled in favour of his right to freedom of expression and opinion when convicted of defamation, after writing that the ex-president of the Supreme Court, Noronha de Nascimento, represented the dark side of justice.

yes I read about that case....and the verdict fitted entirely with my analysis of the balance between 8 and 10...no surprises there

I thought someone reported that Amaral was waiting for the outcome.  Not me.

Who told you that?

That's the press for you!
Back in the 1960s the Daily Express used to routinely print opposing headlines on the same long running topic, so when it was resolved the appropriate headline would be reprinted with the subtitle "The Express was right again". It rather reflects the attitude that prevailed wrt to its readership. Baaa baaa.

Some Internet Posters employ the same tactic.

Angelo posted that information.
