That's rubbish.The Oram's used theirs as tissue to wipe away Apostolides's tears.
What you say is rubbish. I will quote Kifeas on this:
Furthermore, in paragraph 31 of the above judgment, the British high court finds that:
"I do not think that the case for Mr and Mrs Orams on this aspect of the appeal can be put in any other way. The land is within the Republic of Cyprus. There is no conflict with Article 22.1 of the Regulation. It is not within the territory of another Member State. The cases in the European Court of Human Rights show that the laws of the TRNC cannot be relied on by Mr and Mrs Orams to deprive Mr Apostolides of his title to the land. In any event that would involve a review of the substance of the judgment of the District Court of 19 April 2005, contrary to Article 36. So on these matters I accept the submissions of Mr Beazley."
Basically, what the Orams are celebrating is not their vindication as to whether what they did was an illegality (trespassing,) or not, or that Apostolides is not the real owner of the property in which they built their villa, but they are celebrating the fact that their act will remain (temporarily) with impunity. They were not vindicated morally, and they were not cleared out legally. They just got away with impunity for the time being, and this is what they celebrate.
