The strike-out application is being heard today. Four journos - myself, @louisetickle, @Haroon_Siddique and @legalhackette - were told that we would not be allowed in, and were then told we would not be allowed to make representations on why we should be let in.

Directions hearings are normally heard in private, but Dr Proudman had applied for the hearing to be public. This means we cannot accurately report details from the hearing, or arguments from either side. Substantive misconduct hearings are typically held in public.
