Am still a little confused -

Today is 11th March - 'Easter Weekend' is 21st-24th March.
My understanding is Balpa has legally to provide 7 days notice of strike action.
Therefore a strike could still have been called for 'Easter' up 'til March 17th.
However - the 'strike within 30 days' rule meant (I believe) that a strike must be announced by March 13th.
So what is the situation now?
If the 'strike ballot period of validity to commence strike action has had the clock stopped on it' then theoretically a strike could still be called as soon as Judge John Deed rules on BA's claim.
Is there any word on how long the ruling might take?
