Court Case lost documents Siko posted 20. 11 .2013
I have just had a long discussion with Mr-Egypt's lawyer who attended the cc today and I asked him many questions.
These are the details of today's session which lasted for 45 minutes:
-This new court is formed of 8 judges, 3 from the old court -which ruled on 20th March to postpone the original ruling- and 5 new judges including the main judge, who seemed to be a very fair man.
-The first thing the judge did was to ask Alfakrany why he was suing everyone?! Also the judge told Alfakrany not to talk after realizing that he was not a lawyer, and especially after Alfakrany did not stand up as the judges entered the room and the judge ordered him to stand up.
-The judge asked Alfakrany's lawyer to explain the whole case as it was new to him. The lawyer explained all about the agreement and its conditions, then the judge asked what the problem was, Alfakrany's lawyer said that according to the agreement if CEY worked outside the agreed area or submitted any forged documents then the government could cancel the agreement, the judge asked (what did they do wrong and what forged documents did they submit?) , the lawyer said that their entitlement was for 3 sq km only, but they worked outside that area, and that was a clear breach of the agreement, and later they got the minister to sign a contract for that area!
-Then the ministry of petroleum's lawyer intervened and said that the whole case was a total waste of everybody's time, including the court, and said that the administrative court was not even entitled to consider the case at the first place because the agreement was a law approved by the parliament, and confirmed to the judge that all the correct legal documents were submitted in the file, including the agreement and the contract. The judge tried to find the contract in the file, but it was too big and could not find it straight away, so the lawyer told him that he will submit another certified copy on behalf of the ministry of petroleum, as the one in the file was submitted by CEY & EMRA. (This is the first time the ministry of petroleum gets involved).
-Alfakrany then tried to talk about the unfair conditions, wasting public natural resources and stealing the gold, the judge told him (This is an administrative court which only considers whether the contract is legal or not, and will not consider anything else. This is a documents only court and lawyers sometimes do not even get the chance to talk because the court only considers documents).
-I asked Mr-Egypt's lawyer about his feeling about the cc, he said that he felt very positive after today's events.
-I asked him about the final ruling and when to expect it. He expects another adjournment on the 25/3/2014, and then on that following one it could be booked for the final ruling (so 1,2, then final ruling), and he guesses about 6-7 months from now it should be all done (This is all his guessing)
