The appeal in Philips v Francis was due to be heard by the Court of Appeal today and tomorrow.
Unfortunately, the hearing was vacated very late and adjourned until 13-15 October 2014! We understand the adjournment was due to a last minute witness statement by the Treasury Solicitor.
It is a great shame that we will all now have to wait a further 5 months before the Court of Appeal clarifies the position.
