You may have seen this already, but just in case here is an update from the LGS team on the Judical Review:
The judicial review hearing into the challenge against the CAA's decision to grant airspace to Farnborough Aerodrome concluded today. This was an important milestone in the efforts by Lasham Gliding Society, with the support of the wider general aviation community, to have the CAA's decision overturned in light of what Lasham Gliding Society considers to be a number of substantial flaws and failings in the way in which the CAA considered Farnborough's application and took its decision. As is usual in a case of this nature, the Judge, The Hon. Mrs Justice Thornton, reserved her judgment. We expect that she will make her judgment at some point in the near future. In the meantime, we take comfort from the fact that our lawyers presented a very strong case for the CAA's decision to be overturned and await Mrs.Justice Thornton's decision.
