They first have to, accept the case.
...and it won't be against Amaral, either.
Meanwhile i anticipate action against the McCann's by the Portuguese, as they have not paid up after the Supreme Court Judgement.
Tell me Brietta, how do you defend the McCann's failure to look after Madeleine's human rights ?
Don't you rather think there is a matter of Law here as far as the money which seems to have become a bit of an obsession to you is concerned?
The European Court being the clincher on who pays what to whom?
Just a case of wait and see
(a) if the case is accepted and
(b) what the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights will be if it is
The fact no money has yet changed hands suggests that while the case is still under legal consideration, none will. Should the ECHR rule in the McCann favour I think the boot will be on the other foot with Portugal lifting the tab and Amaral kissing goodbye to the money he made from Madeleine.
Time will tell. ABSOLUTELY AIMHO
