I remember your first post, and have been reading ever since! Well done to your OH, and I look forward to hearing the outcome!Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -

I reckon another 3 weeks minimun - it's AWFUL
Yesterday we got a package from our solicitor - contains 70-off pages of submissions for both sides, I can't bring myself to read any of it!!:o It might bring us down, especially when she told us that she had submitted 18 pages of submissions...the respondent had submitted...44!!!:eek: Then there si the responses to each others, *phew* glad it wasn't me putting that lot together!:oLearn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. :cheesy:0 -

Fingers really, firmly crossed for you. I have been watching this unfold with great interest. My husband has a discplinary hearing tomorrow that I strongly suspect is going to end up going all the way...the stress even at this early stage is tremendous so well done to both of you for hanging in there.0 -

I wouldn't worry about this - they have more to defend than you do!

I really feel for you
If there's anything I can do to help - I'm no expert but even if you just need someone to chat to about it, feel free to pm me xjobbingmusician wrote: »I wouldn't worry about this - they have more to defend than you do!

You know, I hadn't thought about it from that point of view,
I just thought reading it all again would bring us down while we are trying to remain hopeful. Thank you, I 'might' just open it and have a look. Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. :cheesy:0 -

I fully agree with both these comments.
18 pages of well-presented concise evidence is far better than 44 pages of "yeah but, not but, yeah but" rhetoric.
Less is more, methinks

Good luck and hopefully it will be good news. Just a word of warning, the ET we were involved with took 3 months to get a decision, so 3 weeks may be optimistic!
I think your case is very strong, and I cant believe the other side are still resisting the inevitable.
good luck.0 -
^^yeah, I'm aware that three weeks is the bare minimum (taking into account the week that already passed though)
What did help though was that we finished a day early and the judges used that full day to begin their deliberations, so that has hopefully cut down a little on the result time. I was reading charts on the walls of the waiting room that said 85% of cases got results in 4 weeks, so kinda hoping we are one of them!:rotfl:
I think I would be climbing the walls if we had to wait 3 months - but thanks for the heads up!!Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. :cheesy:0 -
