Eady J has today handed down a decision declining to exercise the s. 33 discretion to permit trial of a claim by a victim of sexual assault, principally on the basis that a fair trial could not be possible on the facts of the case. The decision is TCD v Harrow Council & Ors [2008] EWHC 3048 (QB) and can be found at: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2008/3048.html.
Best wishes,
James
