I am not celebrating in the sense that you are referring to, that is as you suggest, gloating. There has been a lot of confusing discussions here as to what the results of an appeal will be. I am just clarifying the fact that the case cannot be reversed. It is now just a case of how much money will change hands.
I am not talking about what the results of an appeal may or will be, but only about the results of the already obtained and existing judgment. In my view, and as I indicated in another thread based on the judgment, the Orams and the rest of the British in the north have lost more than they earned from this ruling. It was verified and accepted by the British high court that their "investments" in the north were essentially made on stolen properties and on the basis illegal and false assumptions and representations, and that the GCs continue to remain the only legal owners of those properties. Essentially the only thing the Orams have “won” is to (perhaps temporarily) escape with impunity.
