00:00I'm pleased to announce today that solicitors for the claimants, Lee Day, together with council,
00:06have already been instructed to seek permission to appeal.
00:12The fight continues and we all want to win this case and to stop the embassy.
00:18My name is Mark Nygate. I'm representing the claimant, the Royal Mint Court Residents Association.
00:24That's 100 families living on diplomatic land.
00:29While you were obviously disappointed with today's judgment, we knew this was going to be a long haul and we
00:35intend to go all the way.
00:37We also knew that in the case of this significance, it was going to be unlikely that the courts would
00:42find in our favour in the early stages.
00:45We believe that our claims make arguments that will stand the greater chance of success at appeal or if the
00:52case goes as far as the Supreme Court.
00:55This is a huge case with consequences that go far beyond planning law, far beyond the residents, far beyond the
01:04local community.
01:05It's just about our country.
01:06It isn't just a David and Goliath battle.
01:10It's a David versus two Goliaths.
01:13Us, the residents, versus the Chinese and UK governments.
01:17And you see, this is a battle that is too important to give up.
