Former Portuguese detective Gonçalo Amaral wins appeal in damages trial.

[ShiningInLuz]

Monclair or Shining would have some idea on that.

Or perhaps ferryman can Google again.

I have absolutely no idea on this.  I shall simply wait and see what happens.

[Mr Gray]

I have yet to see one of them post a valid basis for an appeal that has not already been examined in the case so far. Name calling of people, organisations and countries doesn't count.

you don't seem to have noticed that amarals appeal was simply the same points revisited.......so the appeal will no doubt be ...the same points revisited

The basis of appeal stands out a mile.

The appeal-court judge (in the judgement just handed down) improperly applied Portuguese law by ignoring that, in writing his book, Amaral breached the rules of judicial secrecy so that the state of to s/he who is willing, no harm can come (the principle the appeal judgement rests on) doesn't (or shouldn't) apply.

This appeal-court judge screwed up.

[Mr Gray]

Have amaral's assets been unfrozen

No they didn't.

It was 3 judges remember.

The ones screwing up were the mccanns, REMEMBER.

The judges got it just right and the mccanns got the medicine they have long deserved.

i    still wonder    why ferryman is  so obsessed  and upset by this verdict   IMO    it isa over the top  reaction     considering he doesnt  even know them

[Mr Gray]

You mean you don't know ?

I mean it hasn't been announced.....so as yet it appears they have not...in that case not really any sort of victory. You would have to ask why the assets have not been released and the answer is simple

the book  is going back on sale next week so i assume   they will unlock his  money

[Mr Gray]

the book  is going back on sale next week so i assume   they will unlock his  money

you assume ...thats a mistake...the book was on sale before the last verdict whilst his assets were frozen.
There does not seem to have been any decision on the frozen assets...strange for those who think amaral has won

He claims not to know them.   %&5%£ %£5&% %£5&%

[carlymichelle]

   good point stephen

[Mr Gray]

He claims not to know them.   %&5%£ %£5&% %£5&%

you get so much wrong...its highly entertaining

[ferryman]

The grounds of appeal is blindingly obvious: misapplication of Portuguese law.

Simple as that.

So long as the judge at the Supreme Court, who hears the appeal, is as honest as the judge at the court of first instance, the McCanns will absolutely fine.
