On 25th October, Mr Justice Eyre heard a full day of argument from both parties.
Our barrister, Andrew Fraser-Urquhart KC, put our points eloquently and forcefully to the judge, highlighting the failure of Enfield Council to conduct a lawful consultation, undertake a proper balancing exercise and follow the correct procedure when carrying out their road closure experiment.
The judge will now consider the evidence before him and the arguments made and will make a decision in the coming weeks.
We will update all supporters when we hear further.
