Pledges to support legal action have slowed a little but we have passed £2000.

I won't be there myself this year but if anyone interested is going to Cheltenham I'd be grateful if they could spread the word, get pledges and, above all, get those pledges posted here.

My solicitors are advising a two pronged attack:- i) Industrial Tribunal where the CAA have a case to answer as license issuers even though they are not employers. ii) Judicial Revue which is self explanatory and is heard in the High Court.

For both I need expert medical opinion and Councel's opinion in order to have the best chance of winning. It is possible that if both are encouraging it will be possible to get help funding action in the High Court.

Whirligig, you offerd you accountancy expertise earlier; would you, perhaps, agree to be fundholder for this money when it materialises? It may give comfort to those who like the concept but don't know if I can be trusted not to run off with it.
