Spudgun has said a bit more on Facebook, but I'll wait for Tony to update on this.

**kitti** Wed 8 Feb - 17:32

Is he allowed to talk about it whilst the case has started ?

Why aren't the press reporting About this......are the mccanns ASHAMED off what people will think off them?

I think that if the mccanns win this case then they probably think they will win against mr amaral.....which they won't.

@greenink211 @RingoStarfish regarding #McCanns. Oh dear, you're rather wrong on all counts. Firstly, I never stated that I would be there at Court. I merely posted that I HOPED to be there some weeks ago. I have since made several posts stating that I would not be there.

Secondly, my information regarding the Court procedures came from NOT speaking to Mr. Bennett, (although I HAVE spoken to him) but from the Clerk of the Court herself.

Thirdly, I never stated that the Judge chastised the McCanns. It was their representation, (look it up under 'R' in the dictionary), to whom he directed his concerns.

Fourthly, it was a GOOD day for Tony Bennett in court today, not a bad one as your Tweet suggests.

Just tweeted by Spudgun. I don't know anything else as yet. If I see any more I will keep you all updated.

Happy to hear that it was a GOOD day for Tony Bennett in court today. Dare I ask why the press is not reporting on this. Could that be because it was a good day for Tony? When I think of all the trivia that is posted on the Mail website (i.e. the 24/7 coverage of the Beckhams) while today's proceedings go unoticed, it is enough to make me scream.

So it sounds like the McCanns lawyers were told they were being vexatious?! Retired Lawyer Faces Jail for Harrassing McCanns - Telegraph - Page 6 929468

Suing a pensioner doesn't look too good in my book and I'm quite sure the mccanns know this and don't want It published as it will make tony look like the victim that he is and not the McCanns.

Vexatious Litigation is frowned upon and so it is good to see that the Courts are looking at the issue on merit rather than on any other basis.

And this should not escape the attention of any other respondent in other McCarterruck actions - someone needs to ensure Amaral is made aware that this has happened as he should be entitled to refer to it in the context of his own defence.
