As a lay person interested in this area, the ‘acid test’ just made sense and seemed like an assessment that any frontline professional could assess and analyse on the ground, so to hear that others felt the ‘acid test’ would be a ‘predictable’ outcome is good to hear, because from listening to the 2 and a bit days of argument in Cheshire West 2 (what about ‘Cheshire West the Revenge’?) i was far from convinced that the judges thought it was predictable or a positive outcome.
‘Separate topics’ about the arguments in Cheshire West 2 would be great… Helpful for getting our heads around what is/isn’t being argued before the judgment of the SC is made.
