News soon?8 Jul 2020 21:25
It wasn't clear to me in the RNS or in the interview whether the courts still intend to make a ruling if an agreement is not reached before the date of any extension they may or may not have recently granted. I presume they have set a new date, and I presume @Kiran knows this date, so why didn't he tell us? Too close? Didn't want to froth the market? Expects a settlement before this date?
We know the original ruling date was intended to be the end of June, so I would have thought a 10-14 day extension would not be out of the question, but obviously it could be longer.
Interestingly these timescales might correlate with the April timeline leading up to a decision and with recent events in our court case, but it would mean that the decision to allow more time was likely not taken this week - and if this is the case, why were we not alerted sooner?

So it could be any time really, sometime next week seems likely if an out of court agreement isn't reached beforehand. And if @Kiran does know the potential ruling date, then he appears to think it's possible that announcement of first shipment might occur before then - or an out of court settlement might occur first.
I do wonder if he purposefully extrudes ambiguity to give us something to talk about! ;-) Only joking @Kiran :-)
In summary: news soon? I'm refraining from using imminent. For now! LoL
