The High Court hearing into the eviction of the Dale Farm travellers site continues today (26/9/11) and the Judge has stated that he intends to return a verdict at 16:00 (15:00GMT) today. If the court sticks to that time scale it will leave the bailiffs with three to four hours of daylight to carry out the eviction. As it would be quite dangerous for all to attempt the eviction in the dark it is most likely that any eviction attempt will now wait until tomorrow (27/9/11). However I cannot totally rule out the bailiffs make a start as soon as the injunction is lifted.

The Judge in the Dale Farm case returned his verdict early and surprised everyone by extending the injunction against eviction until Thursday (29/9/11). This was done because the Judge felt there was a triable argument over what can be removed from every single plot on the site. Therefore the injunction has been extended until the travellers application of Judical Review can be heard on Thursday. That Judical Review is being sort on the grounds that the eviction is disproportionate under the terms of the European Human Rights Act however if allowed I think it will also have to consider if Basildon Council are correct in refusing planning permission on the grounds of greenbelt because that classification seems wrong.
