Judge: I Do Not Accept I Was Not Entitled To Make Factual Findings

Last updated : 25 July 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Mr Justice Hickingbottom has said that he has rejected SISU's plans for an appeal over his Judicial Review decision.

SISU had claimed that he was wrong to come to the decision he did but Justice Hickingbottom said to the Coventry Telegraph's Simon Gilbert: “The claimants contend that I made 'numerous and serious errors of fact'.

“A judge does not err simply because he does not draw factual conclusions which one party urges upon him...

“I did not accept the picture which the claimants sought to paint. I set out my factual conclusions, and the evidence upon which they were based...

“I do not accept that I was not entitled to make the factual findings I did make... and I do not consider there is a realistic possibility that the claimants would persuade the Court of Appeal that I was not entitled to make any of the material findings I did make.”
