Say what? I mentioned it before any of your posts in the thread, so sorry you can't be fucking bothered to read. And before any of the mods worry about the thread getting derailed I'm done arguing with Todeswind no matter what he replies with.

Back to the topic at hand, the OP says that the high court "reserved its decision" with regards to the appeal, what does that mean specifically?

It means they've reserved their decision for a later date. It's quite standard, few courts will come back with a decision that day unless the case has been so convincingly made that there is nothing the judges need to discuss behind closed doors.

Ah, many thanks, I should have guessed.
