So, while the Government is determined to see this referendum take place 3 weeks from now, there are currently no indications coming from the Opposition on what action - if any - they will take try and force a second postponement.
We had hoped to get some sense today on whether the PUP plan to mount a new legal challenge when we met their lawyers at the Court of Appeal. The PUP had filed a cross appeal there to ensure that their complaint against the Special Agreement remains live before the Court.
Their attorneys and those from the Government side were supposed to show up for a case management conference before the Court of Appeal.
But, lawyers don't like working on Holy Thursday - it seems - so the case was adjourned and no appearances were made - except for the media.
We were told that the court was asked for an adjournment until after the Easter Break, so that the attorneys could take instructions from their clients. We saw the Court of Appeal President, Justice Manuel Sosa, leaving the Court a few minutes before the hearing was scheduled to start.
