FW: sad news - latest "Memorial" press release

[John Dunn]

As I understand it, the matter has been returned to the original court for a second hearing, which may or may not result in the same outcome.  There is, as it happens, an interesting parallel.  The appeal by the British Council against a vast tax demand was largely successful at the first hearing, but on appeal that case was also sent back for a second hearing on a trivial technicality.  On that occasion the lower court confirmed its original decision.  But it was a different type of court in a different city.

Dear Robert - Sorry to be stupid but my legal Russian ain't so great. Does this mean they have overturned the raion court's ruling, or just that they have allowed an appeal? And do we have any idea where things will go from here? Hope all's going well (I much look forward to 'Everything Flows') and all the best - Anna.
