I went to the original Orams verdict several years ago - it's was open to the public, great building, very interesting.



Definately worth a day out if you have the time, it's a short bus ride from Waterloo Station

The High Court in London (well worth a visit for its marble & cathedral like architecture) is open to the public ('Justice must be seen to be done'). The front of the building is the one seen on TV whenever a high profile case is in the news. This case will be in 'Open Court'. Not a lot to see with regard the case though it's the verdict. The Judges will simply read out their decision. The Counsel for both sides will have seen an advanced copy of that judgement at least the day before but are not allowed to tell people what it is. They can then point out any glaring errors before the judgement is finally given.

Oh, and the written judgment will be posted later on the Court of Appeal website within a couple of days.

Hi all,



As I live in London I would like to go to the court on Tuesday. I know it is in the Strand but is it Charing Cross End or the opposite end?

I'd go to Temple tube, head up hill into the Strand and you can't miss it.

the butlers wife. You can't miss it - it's a massive building, very old architecture. Coming down through Fleet Street from St Pauls it's on your right, opposite the Wig & Pen Club.
