Mmm. Solicitor General v
Defendant usually means it's a contempt proceeding.
I suspect we should err on the safe side and not speculate until there is a ruling from the court!
Note: Just checked back. ExiledScouser mentioned this a few weeks ago.
Meanwhile, since this is unrelated it'll be safe to post, you'll never guess what interpretation the People's Princess has put on this polite letter to go swivel from Her Maj...

Dear Neelu,
The Queen has asked me to thank you for your letter from which Her Majesty has taken careful note of the views you express regarding the Julian Assange case and the issue of those you refer to as whistleblowers.
I must explain, however, that as a constitutional Sovereign The Queen acts on the advice of her Ministers and remains strictly non-political at all times. This is, therefore, not a matter in which Her Majesty would intervene.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Jennie Vine, MVO
Deputy Correspondence Coordinator
Well, guess no more:
1/26/2020: I am smiling this morning…
So, as you all know, I wrote my 8 page hand written letter with the 39 pages of attachments and posted it by Registered Post to Her Majesty The Queen on 21 Jan 2020.
This is the response I got with a personal message from Her Majesty, naming “Julian Assange” and “Whistleblowers” dated 23 Jan 2020 by second class post received on 25th Jan 2020. It states basically, that Her Majesty The Queen will be asking her Ministers to deal with it.
Then I heard Julian Assange has been moved out of solitary confinement (1/24/2020) ….so smiles and smiles…. and no doubt all the other remedies will follow in stealth mode….
