    There is a brief report below -

    The decision will be announced on Wednesday at 10 am.

    We can be absolutely certain that Laura put forward an absolutely excellent case!
    I would be very surprised if this does not go forward for a full hearing given the judgement in the Bedford case in Canada. The establishment case appears to be resting heavily on the objective of choking off demand to prevent trafficking.
    They seem to suggest that even if consensual non coercive prostitution(imo the vast majority is non forced on the Island of Ireland) is commonplace the fact that even a small number of "slaves" are prevented as a result of the new laws it is
    a cause for celebration. This is both disproportionate in its effect on the safety and right to earn an income of the majority of sex workers but it is also blinkered in it's failure to realise that these laws are more likely to increase rather than decrease trafficking. Why because if non-coerced workers are forced out of the industry criminal elements will step in to fill the void operating deep underground mainly with forced labour.
