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

[faithlilly]

Will we ever know if his appeal was unsuccessful I wonder...?

Oh I'm sure Miss Duarte will have it all over the internet in double quick time.

Absolutely!

Absolutely!

I wonder if it will be similar to last time.

Depends on the result I suppose.

[Mr Gray]

Depends on the result I suppose.

Let's hope amaral is stopped once and for all. Despite his posturing it seems he may have nowhere else to go if this verdict is unfavourable to him...as I expect it to be

Let's hope ?

Who exactly are you speaking for ?

Where havevthe mccanns or their supporters made an appeal for funds to pay for their legal fees?

By setting up the MFLNSU official website asking for donations to fund searching.

Part of those donations received as a result of that appeal to fund searching were used on the legal costs of obtaining the injunction against Mr Amaral (source: CH = Companies House) and also to pay for witnesses to fly out to Lisbon (source: CH).
This was quite reasonably treated as complying with the "searching" objective, the argument was that the book (and film) were preventing searching taking place (source: CH)

And now the Portuguese judge has said the book and documentary didn't harm the search I wonder what will be the justification for using the fund now ?

the Portuguese judge never said the book didn't harm the search...you will find I am 100% right as usual

[misty]

How much time had elapsed between the original writ being issued & the judge making her decision? What period of time do you think any decision was based on?

To be fair IMO the fund is not now financing this legal case.
While they were funding it they stated so clearly (source CH).

Who is fundng it iyo? The fact that the open part of the accounts do not mention it is not really testament is it?

Did they ? So who do you think was financing their litigation when it wasn't specifically stated that the fund was ?

The judge said the book had never damaged  the search. Not when the writ was issued, not when their PIs were 'investigating', not when SY took over, never, so yet again I'm not sure what your point is misty
