Cam­paign group JUSTICE NOT CRISIS who have been cam­paign­ing for more social hous­ing in Birm­ing­ham and help­ing to run a social cen­tre in Birm­ing­ham had been served court papers. Due to the fact that there was no date or time on the papers JNC vis­it­ed the Court to find out when we were to attend court. We were shocked to find that the hear­ing was to be held 45 min­utes lat­er and we did­n’t have time to pre­pare or let oth­er cam­paign­ers know what was hap­pen­ing.

Despite the fact that the papers were not prop­er­ly served the judge con­tin­ued with the hear­ing and award­ed pos­s­e­sion to the own­er with imme­di­ate effect. He also award­ed costs against 3 named peo­ple to the tune of almost £4,000.

JUSTICE NOT CRISIS are prepar­ing an appeal and will update this site as soon as pos­si­ble.

We expect the demo­li­tion com­pa­ny to arrive at 9.00am on Tue­sa­day next week (24th Feb) to start secur­ing the site.

WE MAY NEED HELP IN DEFENDING THIS ACTION. MORE INFO TO FOLLOW.
