Political Reporter, BBC WMToday has been Birmingham City Council's opportunity to defend its position over the on-going bin debacle.
In essence the authority has just repeated its argument that former leader John Clancy had no legal authority to make a deal that guaranteed these bin men their jobs.
Their legal team said when it comes to "the council" as a whole entity, the leader and Cabinet can never represent that on their own. Ever.
Image source, PAWhen asked by the Judge how the defence would describe the "internal dysfunction" talked about by Unite's team yesterday, Tim Straker for the council said "I would describe it as the failure of Mr Clancy to follow proper advice on what could and could not be done".
Unite's team argue that council officers knew Mr Clancy was going to ACAS and that if he didn't have authority, who did?
Mr Justice Fraser said he will deliver the judgement that determines whether this goes to a full trial tomorrow at 11am. Either way, there will be significant consequences.

BBC SportWarwickshire are 195-8 at tea against Yorkshire at Headingley.
