It's about 5.30 pm in England and the Court of Appeal in the case of the British Chiropractic Association v Simon Singh has closed for the day. No official news as yet but the Singh supporters from Twitter seem to have smiles on their faces.

My greatest desire is that journalists in future should not have to endure such an arduous and expensive libel process. Cases like mine mean that people are afraid to speak out about whether treatments are worthwhile and effective."
Looks like the BCA was given a hard time. Why did they even bother taking this case to court? Why haven't they published the evidence they claim to have? Do they have enough money to pay if they lose?
