From another forum with thanks also for the comments.
Oh, and why do they keep assuming that the paperwork relating to the Crown protection wasn't in order before this started, years ago?
Anyone else thinks that sounds like the judge just wants to know how to divvy up the damages?

According to the judge herself, the presence of Madeleine among the plaintiffs is just a technicality with no consequence on her sentence but an eventual consequence over the attribution of damages to the plaintiff Madeleine.
This depends on the McCanns capacity to provide an authorization from the High Court to represent their daughter in this trial since the judge, studying the WOC document found that the trial was concerned by the High Court ruling.
Actually they likely have already applied, so the delay will be more than 30 days. Moreover, as the delay starts right after the last hearing and as the delay is suspended during the 5 weeks Tribunal holidays, they'll have over 11 weeks to get the document.
Remember that Amaral's lawyer got the WOC document after about 4 months.
However I don't think the High Court will authorize.
