CLASHINDARROCH JUDGEMENT DUE THIS WEEK

Hi All

We of course want to update you on the recent Judicial Review and our efforts to save the Clashindarroch wildcats. The hearing occurred as planned on the 18th January. Our legal team on one side and on the other side, legal teams for both Vattenfall and the Scottish Ministers. Prior to the hearing all parties had lodged written submissions, and this hearing was to present the case to the Judge.

As you will fully appreciate, the Judge has been deliberating the case and so we have not been able to say too much about the proceedings or the case. This is out of respect for the Judge and the Court. We really hope that you understand.

The main thing is that we are still in the fight and the Clashindarroch wildcats still have a voice. That is thanks to your ongoing support. We await the decision and have been informed today that the judgement is scheduled to come out on Thursday morning this week, at around 10am. You will be immediately informed as soon as we know anything. There is so much at stake here.

We maintain our position that this is simply the wrong development at the wrong site and that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of bare, treeless hills covering vast swathes of Scotland, that could be used as alternative sites. Development of the Clashindarroch can and should be avoided.

Keep watching and we will update you whenever we hear anything.

Very best wishes as always

The Wildcat Haven Team.
