Calm down man. You jump to conclusions so quick, that's ridiculous. Nothing is clear yet. Enough predictions. Enough speculations, let's just wait and see what happens.

Lets just wait for July 15 th just a few days to go.But with the courts anything is possible and there is the possibility of the results being cancelled again or being put on hold as Jayo2k just said.Only time will tell.
 
They only winners in this court case are the lawyers who have cheap paid advertisement for their name, paid by some wrongly informed winners who have nothing in their life than sticking to the fact that they are entitled to something that was clearly found a "error"..sadly, but now they will loose even more...money to pay the lawyer.

I do not beleive any court can issue an injunction without a reason. At this point Mr. White hardly has any arguments in the case. His point is reference to the statement from the Winston Simplified Dictionary published in 1919, which has the only meaning for random "without a definite aim or purpose", according to his interview at BBC. At that point they did not have computers. Modern dictionaries have other meanings, and the law refers to a different one, that was not available in 1919 because there were no computers back there.
So, issuing an injunction for this case at this point would be an injunction without a reason. That would be a major blow to justice.

It was published in the FB group, only excerpt is available:

"Thank you for your email. I am aware of the unfortunate situation related to the State Department’s mishandling of the 2012 Diversity Visa Lottery. I am very concerned about the error that was made during the selection process, as well as the inconvenience and disappointment this has caused for those individuals whose selection was invalidated. My staff will continue to monitor the situation closely as the Department evaluates the cause of the initial computer error, and prepares for the rescheduled lottery in July."
 
This excerpt does not have any reference to a specific day in August. I am sure a lot of people received this email in full.
 
Hot

Things are getting hot and thick day by day.A group of irish are to file an injunction in support of the class action lawsuit to stop the july 15 th draw.This is because they believe if the draw is done the class action lawsuit will be rendered useless.Check this out

That is totally wrong. The court is mainly about making DOS pay for postal expenses (to send documents to KCC) that "winners" had to pay because they were misinformed by DOS. It will not be useless, they will still decide DOS is financially responcible for those charges. That could be done in parallel with the draw.

Raevesky l dont think we are reading from the same script.There is no where on the post in the link where money is mentioned.Please read it if you havent.
 
My understanding is even if those things are not mentioned yet, they will be added later. Or judge can make DOS financially responcible for those damages on its own.
I just do not see a point in the do-not-redraw part of the lawsuit, because Mr. White's arguments are based solely on a reference to a 100-year old dictionary.

No cinema, it's not a case. July 15th aint happening means braking the DV program rules and US law for the reason some applicants don't agree with this program rules and can't get over it and waiting for the new draw.
So I guess they could say bye bye for the program in the case they would file this injunction.
Lol ;)

Class action complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief and petition for writ of mandamus.

7. However the most extreme pain lies in the psychological trauma of having longstanding hopes, often lifelong dreams, of a better life honestly and fairly "won" and then cruelly and unfairly taken away by the Department of State. All members of the plaintiff group value the opportunity granted to them by "winning" the green card lottery more than money. The plaintiff group has not expressed an interest in monetary compensation. All plaintiffs simply want the commitment originally made to them by the US Government to be honored.
