In my report to the recent BCA council meeting, I stated that the Welsh Government, NRW, NE and Defra were playing silly buggers in refusing to make disclosure of the documents setting out the course of events that led to the decision we are challenging - not to let cavers take part in its access reform group on the grouns that caving isn't covered by CROW.
Our lawyers contested this in an approach the High Court, arguing we had to see the documents before we amended out claim, and I've just been told that we've won. The court's order is attached. They have to give us the material by 26 April. The order also sets out a timetable for what has to happen then. By 28 June we should be on the last lap before the hearing, which has been listed to last a day and a half.
This is welcome news.
