Good points Juicy. You are right about too many ifs and buts. I don't suppose Kurt is going to tell us whether he's waiting for the KU investigation, but the feeling I get about Baylan is that he just won't bring us a decision. All in all, as we've now been waiting for so very long, it's been a terribly poor and damning show from Sweden. I expect the Government will find it difficult to admit or accept failure of any kind, as in, for our mistreatment in the process. We are still waiting now because of politics and it appears that embarrassment and shame are not felt enough within Government walls to warrant the necessary action required to fix this broken application process. It seems to just be talked about.
"We'll look at it tomorrow!" Lol.
Sorry.. wrong button..adverts jumping the page
Should the system then fail to deliver, then that will be the time for KB to take action.
Always remembering, of course, that this is Sweden and, as is the case with many a failing Government, a further election might be needed.
There are too many ifs and buts to worry about at the present Eric, so we just need to let the process play out for a while longer.
Baylan could announce a decision before KU, so as not to be shamed into action, but I'm not holding my breath. I also doubt he could be shamed by anything, otherwise he would have reached that point some considerable time ago.
KU could come down against the Government and demand action. The 1st possibly but the 2nd unlikely. I expect that when they announce their decision they will say that the system has failed to operate correctly but, as to what needs to happen, I expect vague suggestions rather than definitive instruction.
Although it might mean waiting until the Autumn for KU, I think KB can now do little else but wait. Should the system then fail to deliver then,
Mornin' Sub.
You might be right there Juicy. In February Kurt decided not to pursue a legal case, we don't know what was advised exactly, but the Government knowing that we were having such a meeting hasn't sent too much of a shockwave. Over four months later and we've heard nothing RNSable back from Baylan. Is Kurt now waiting for the KU? Not sure, but if he is, supposing the KU investigation keeps getting put back, where does that leave us?
Action, though not necessarily of a legal nature, could, I feel, be considered, regardless of whether the KU investigates sooner or later. We already know that waiting for all these years has got us nowhere, except further in a financial hole, via dilution at low sp levels. I mentioned sending an official complaint to the Swedish PM, it's an option, and it might touch on our less than satisfactory treatment under Baylan's watch.
Only my thoughts, but maybe it's time to find a way of bypassing the Government's inertia. Pointing to politics as the main culprit.
But I don't know. Lol.
Of course, we 'ain't got a Scooby.
We do have a very strong case though, 6+ years and all boxes ticked.
Hi. No, I think that's a terrible idea. Undermining Kurt and all of his work to date is the last thing we want to do.
In my opinion it is best leaving the decision on any potential legal action to him. He is our representative, the one with the inside knowledge and information about all matters surrounding our application. We aren't privy to such, especially any verbal communications he may have had with Baylan.
Only my view.
The government stated that they were preparing a dossier and that the decision was imminent in September 2019.......No faith in this government making a decision. Does anybody think it is feasible for the shareholders to group together to make a legal case.
My long held view is that KB should have left the referral to the Government with them the 1st time around. I said so to him at the AGM 2 years ago and also, given that the company was already then getting the run around from the Government, that he needed to consider pushing the issue, including taking legal action.
Now, with the company having not taken any meaningful action, and having made clear that legal action is their last option, I think we are in a changed position. Essentially, I think the company now has no alternative other than to wait for either the Government to reach a decision or KU to announce the outcome of their investigation. Following on from those, whichever comes 1st, if we still don't have a positive decision, or a reasonable time-frame for one, that will be the time for KB to take action and quickly.
