Luz declares the Portuguese libel trial is not a libel trial ?

[stephen25000]

the book is not being stocked in Portuguese  bookshops...shops like to make money and stock what sells ...why do you think they are not stocking it

Probably because people who interested in the case already have, or can access it on the net for free.

Any figures or proof ?

Not really of much importance. I'm surprised you are even bothering to continue commenting on it.

[ferryman]

Whether the book is selling or not is immaterial except to the interested parties.
The issue is that the ban on selling the book was overturned and the court decreed that the McCann's rights had not been infringed.

They didn't read the book all that carefully ...

Who are 'they'?

Then why wasn't the case thrown out?

[faithlilly]

Then why wasn't the case thrown out?

Because the book banning is a completely different issue to whether it is libellous.

[misty]

If the book had remained banned, what would the legal position have been regarding the documentary based on the book?

[Mr Gray]

What is most interesting is that the book is no longer for sale...now that is interesting

Is it really?  Why should anyone be bothered one way or the other?

[Eleanor]

I am going to bed.  I seriously need to be on the ball tomorrow.  I mean, this is all sooooo exciting.  We might even get a verdict in about six weeks.  If I haven't died of boredom before then.

[Mr Gray]

the transcripts have been very useful in showing what a weak position amaral is in

[jassi]

Only time will tell. We are not getting a verdict tomorrow, merely the next installment.

[Alfred R Jones]

What are we supposed to be getting tomorrow?  I'm out of the loop about it. I know the McCanns are being allowed to present their case in person in court - is that tomorrow?
