KEY POINTS:
David Bain's lawyers have been thrown something of a lifeline by the Supreme Court today
This morning the Supreme Court heard an application from Michael Reed QC to have new evidential matters included in any retrial, which is scheduled to begin next week.
A decision on whether
or not the retrial will go ahead is expected on Friday.
In the meantime, Mr Reed and his defence team will be able to appeal an earlier decision by the High Court which excluded the new evidence from any retrial
That appeal will take place on Wednesday.
