Cheat sheet

- The claimants also asked for a livestream, citing national and international public interest.
- A copy went to all defendants' lawyers.

The request to ensure that the witnesses and experts may take their seats in the courtroom;
In connection with the great social importance in this procedure and the great social, national and international interest in it, as well as the therefore great interest in the public nature of this procedure, [plaintiffs] et al. also request a live stream of the planned oral hearing.
Every defendant denies the claims, and the court has not ruled on them. Allegations are the claimants' pleaded positions, quoted as theirs. This is analysis and commentary, not legal advice. Interest of Justice is not a party to the case.
