Telephone possession order granted by judge was a denial of fundamental rights to a fair trial, claim Occupy's lawyers
Banking giant UBS was granted an immediate and final possession order for its property in a one-sided hearing that circumvented the basic principles of justice, an appeal court has been told.
"Every person is entitled to a fair trial," Knafler told the appeal judge, Mr Justice Roth. He said that for UBS to serve documents at 9.06 and then send a text to activists at 9.18 gave no real opportunity for them to take part in the hearing. Fundamental rights to a fair trial, "went by the board" and the order "shouldn't have been granted". He urged the court to quash the possession order.
