Replying to questions, Government Spokesman Vassilis Palmas said that ``with any decisions referred to the Court of Justice of the European Communities, we usually have good results,`` adding that ``any further comment would be risky`` at this point as the case is still pending. ``We should wait. We will see the decision of the Court before we comment any further. What I can say is that with any decisions referred to the Court of Justice of the European Communities, we usually have good results,`` he added. Palmas pointed out that he could not elaborate since a case was pending before the Court and ``we are not in a position to comment on matters concerning a judicial procedure.`` He also noted that ``much time will pass before a decision is issued.`` [02] BRITAIN - ORAMS CASEBritain`s Court of Appeal, under Lord Phillips, Lord Chief Justice, has concluded a hearing in a property case involving a Greek Cypriot refugee and a British couple, and said it will take the final decision on points of substance it will refer to the Court of Justice of the European Communities for consideration.The Court of Appeal will decide on the final form of the text to be referred to the Court of Justice without any further meeting.
