McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[Mr Gray]

Whats it to do with the accounts? unless the McCanns have used them for their litigation.

I have no idea...thats why I referred to the statement as interesting

[slartibartfast]

if your opinion is that an application has been made then you must have seen compelling evidence/proof  that it has been made. on what basis do you believe that the application is now a fact

I’m sure it is an opinion based on a demonstrated tendency by the McCanns never to know when they are beaten. IMO

Interesting piece of info imo.

May 2nd 2017 to Jan 28 of this year, 1259 case's communicated to the echr, 12 against Portugal,not a mention of the McCanns.

I'm sure gun it is quite capable of answering the question herself... If you think that why do you think many posters doubted they would make a claim
I'm sure they have applied because they have a very very strong case

At a quick look these appear to be cases further along the process than the mccanns

There is a difference between making a claim and it getting anywhere.

That's why I gave my opinion they have very strong case based on other cases I have seen.... If you remember the sceptic argument was that it wouldn't be accepted... It seems to be changing now

We have nothing saying it has been accepted yet?

[jassi]

I'm sure one of those in the know would be able to provide the case number if application has been processed.

It doesn't cost much so why wouldn't they? There's always an outside chance that it'll succeed.

interesting..... The sceptic point if view was that it wouldn't be accepted now it might succeed.... Why do you think it won't be successful... Do you have, any logic or just prejudice

Please note that as far as I'm concerned 'the sceptic point of view' is a meaningless phrase. The only point of view I give is mine, I belong to no groups and speak for no-one else.

I don't think it will be accepted or successful, but predictions are foolish imo. People predicted that the McCanns would in their libel trial and then looked rather foolish when they lost.

Was that the one they lost to the disgraced(according to some sources) Amaral.

As regards the libel trial I think it's the SC that will look very silly when the ECHR explains how, poorly they understood their obligations re the ECHR

Why?
The McCann appeal if it goes ahead is merely one of many in many states.
I doubt any state officialdom loses much sleep over the rulings of the ECtHR furthermore I am sure states are well above worrying about any perceived "looking very silly".

"Though cautious not to expressly pass judgment on any future or current lawmaking around the subject, the president of the Queen’s bench division intimated that ECHR rulings were less binding than is widely perceived".
