Guys just take note that Mr Otuo has two distinct claims, one against Watch Tower alone which was wrongly struck out as being time barred by one day. This claim will test whether the words "Frank Otuo is no longer a witness" are defamatory. If he succeeds, the announcement for disfellowshipping might be dropped and perhaps never again announce before a congregation, the disfellowshipping of a brother but will have to be done in a grapevine style i.e. word of mouth. The second claim is between him and the coordinator who appeared to have instigated in DF and Watch Tower. That is the one subject to the recent judgement. The first case awaits reinstatement by the Court of Appeal after a second Judge found that it was not time barred at all but procedurally it will require the Court of Appeal to reinstate the claim. Fascinating time in the UK -

If the coordinator is found to be guilty, he no longer fulfills the elder requirements to be free from accusation and to have a fine testimony from outsiders.
If he makes a second serious mistake in his eldership he would be especially culpable.
Imagine having a convicted slanderer in your BoE!! -

If I remember correctly, Jonathon Morley in Wimbledon Congregation was also involved in the Michael Porter abuse case about 5 years ago.
