News agencies in UK reporting that Orams have won their case. The Greek petitioner and his lawyers have said they will appeal to the Human Rights Courts in EU. However they are no longer able to use ECHR for this case!!! Congratulations to the Orams for their fortitude in fighting this case. The TRNC estate agencies are already reporting a 'flurry' of people buying today, that were formerly holding on to see the results of the case

This is now getting confusing, does anyone know what the outcome is? I so hope the above post is true for the Orams sake. For them to go on waiting would be unbearable

Seeing that the case did not finish until this afternoon (Friday, the 13th!) it is impossible for Estate Agents to report a flurry of activity, cos they would all be shut.

That was a very CRUEL thing to post, and ho won earth anyone could have said that to mislead us all, is worthy of a court case in itself.

The latest news I got is that YESTERDAY, Cherie Booth was going for 'not in the public interests' - which was an expected line, but that was YESTERDAY.

I nearly rang the Orams, but felt it there was any truth in victory, they would let us know - and, it could well be up to 3 weeks before a judgement is given, so was said to me today by a Q.C.

But , wouldn't it have been lovely!!!!!!

Of course I make mistakes - lots of times, but I try not to - in fact many of my friends can confirm I am very trying! But, I am a great believer in checking facts before opening mouth, or putting fingers to keyboard! That is why I said it is 'cruel' cos I am sure lots of people had a moment of great relief.

But of course as they say 'it takes a man to apologise (or woman)' so that is good and relieves the 'cruelty' and it certainly produced a flurry of activity on the internet! Cyberspace did well, even if our emotions didn't!

all i found was this

"LONDON based human rights group Embargoed! and other British Turkish Cypriot groups criticised Prime Minister Gordon Brown for meeeting Greek Cypriot President Christofias yesterday (11 November) with the Orams property case hearing due at the Court of Appeal this week.

The case, which involves British couple David and Linda Orams being sued by a Greek Cypriot over their TRNC property, has huge significance for both Cyprus and tens of thousands of British citizens.

The groups wrote to the Prime Minister asking for the meeting with Mr Christofias to be cancelled, urging the British Government to act with more sensitivity on the issue.

Embargoed! chair Fevzi Hussein said, “To say we are disappointed with Gordon Brown is an understatement. Just what does the British PM think he is playing at by meeting Mr Christofias on the first day of the Orams hearing? It smacks of political interference by the Gre
