Appeal

Always somebody else's fault!!!! Incredible that even Her Majesty's Judiciary System is ganging up on poor old BASSA!!!

'Can they do that?! Can we strike on them?! Red crayons and funny name inventing hats on when we find out the judge's name!!'

In a case when future evidence coming to light MAY potentially allow for a different interpretation of the facts, or possibly even in extreme cases a different result, the Judge will often make this plain in his summary, and grant permission to appeal in such circumstances.

That this Judge has denied permission to appeal means that no amount of new evidence can change the verdict in his mind. The ballot was not carried out legally, end of.

This does NOT prohibit the headline-hungry Unite muppets from trying to look like they've got a plan or a hope by filing for appeal. The Court of Appeal can still go ahead and open up an expensive and wasteful case of appeal if, in their opinion, there is reason so to do.

There is not. Eddy, Democracy continues to hold its head high, unblemished. How can you sympathise with a Union that seems to make it's bread'n'butter'butties out of strike action and aggressive industrial unrest, yet somehow, for all the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF POUNDS A YEAR it takes in fees from rabble-roused members, it can't seem to read and comply with the rules of holding a legal ballot?!?!? It is not advanced aerodynamics, it is basic legal procedure. To suggest that it is impossible to conduct a legal ballot because 'the Government are out to get us' sounds like something you could only hear in La La Land!!

BASSA are soon to be buried 6 feet under.....finally a box payment I don't mind working harder for
