McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[Mr Gray]

You can't complain about people to the ECHR, you complain about states. The McCanns will have complained about the state of Portugal.

The complaint has to relate to the previous legal case... The complaint will be against Portugal for allowing the SC judgement are amaral

[jassi]

If the McCanns are successful in the ECHR there will be nothing to stop them suing Amaral for every libellous statement & publication he's made since his original book & documentary. IMO.

I think not. Rulings and laws not likely to be applied retrospectively.

[faithlilly]

The mccanns have spent the past years in court  trying to stop amarals claims.... That's a major clue.... Do you think I'm wrong and it's nothing to do with amaral... Lol

I asked what were the grounds for the application and if the application had actually been filed. Do you have any evidence for either ?

And no, the ECHR application has nothing to do with Amaral.

You said I hadn't got a clue... I have... Of course it has everything to do with amaral... You haven't got a clue

[faithlilly]

You said I hadn't got a clue... I have

I asked if you had evidence. You don’t.

[Mr Gray]

I asked if you had evidence. You don’t.

I do have evidence... You are probably  confusing evidence and proof

[faithlilly]

I do have evidence... You are probably  confusing evidence and proof

You have neither.

[Mr Gray]

You have neither.

Then you don't understand the meaning of the word evidence

[faithlilly]

Then you don't understand the meaning of the word evidence

Give it up Davel. Googling past cases tells you nothing about the McCanns application. You are guessing.

It's all very terribly hush hush this application to the European court.  For all we know it has already been rejected this the silence recently.

[slartibartfast]

Absolutely.... And armed with the judgement they can't lose.... Imo

The ECHR has no power to overturn national SC’s judgements.

There is a silence settling over things, isn't there? As requested by OG perhaps.

[Mr Gray]

The ECHR has no power to overturn national SC’s judgements.

As I have stated many times... What they can do is declare a judgement wrong ...if amaral repeats any claims now or in the future.... That could be the subject of a new claim against amaral

On what grounds might it be rejected

[Mr Gray]

I think not. Rulings and laws not likely to be applied retrospectively.

Misty is absolutely  right.. If the ECHR declare the SC judgement invalid then any statement made after the judgement is subject to the judgement made by the ECHR
