The hearing took place in April; the judgement
was
released two months later. We’re still waiting for the transcript of the Cardiff penalty point scheme 1
May 22/23 and pré- cised on last month’s front page; however, judging by the number of phone calls and emails to the Associa- tion in the past few weeks, an awful lot of people need to know the exact detail of the verdict...
