Union President Josh Roche's disciplinary hearing finished before midnight on Sunday night and the disciplinary committee have retired to consider their findings.
A Union spokesperson said that the verdict would be delivered within "days".
Cherwell's reporters were expelled from the hearing in the middle of proceedings, despite an earlier decision to allow them to cover the event. The reports they managed to send before expulsion are listed below:
4.20pm - PRESS EXPELLED - The Panel has reversed an earlier decision to allow our reporters to cover the hearing.
Before this decision was made, the new piece of evidence (brought by Alexander Priest, ex-Returning Officer) mentioned below, was a note found in the Returning Officer's cupboard. The details of the note are unknown. Regarding the note, a member of Browncross's council said that if he had known about it, he would have brought it as evidence. He said, "I'd have been laughing".
3.48pm - Session adjourned for half an hour so that both parties can look at a new, undisclosed piece of evidence, to decide whether to include it in proceedings.
Some of the evidence that has been brought so far: 1. Email printed in Cherwell. 2. Email forwarded to Browncross from a Cherwell reporter in which Jude Law's agent was speaking to a Cherwell reporter. 3. Committee minutes. 4. Minutes for a conference in Hamburg where L'Estaing was speaking when he was billed to speak at the Union. 4. Jonah Goldberg's blog post. 5. Cherwell articles about events over the past month. 6. Roche's manifesto.
Panel member has said, "There seems to have been a public slanging match which we have followed in Cherwell" [Regarding Bott - Cambridge Union president and Roche]
3.25pm - The minutes referred to earlier have been struck off the record because of the dispute over the inclusion of a swear word.
Tryl has also stated that L'Estaing (UPDATE: changed from Yuschenko). attended a forum on the date he was supposed to speak at the Union.
3.20pm - One of the panel members has said of the termcard failures: "... this is liable to put the society's reputation into disrepute". One member of the panel said, "The subject of the complaint is that the President published a termcard in which several of the speakers were false or not confirmed".
3.05pm - Hearing back in session. The committee is considering the allegations surrounding the termcard invitations. Currently being discussed is Jude Law's non-appearance and Roche's challenge of the minutes during a meeting of the Union's Consultative Committee.
2.26pm - During lunch. Our correspondent says that Union regulars are hanging around the bar, chatting to each other about the events of the hearing. Witnesses are waiting to be called and there is a steady flow of people coming in and out of the building.
2.00pm - LUNCH BREAK
Up until now the hearing has been concerned with allegations that Roche had been leasing rooms in the Union buildings to friends for free.
In the rules, it stipulates that this practice is prohibited. The defence argument centred on Luke Tryl (ex-Union President, representing Roche) arguing that this had been done anyway, and had in fact become an established precedent: "Therefore, it can't be a willful default". The argument is that Roche broke the rules unintentionally.
There was some discussion in the committee as to the importance of those allegations.
One of the committee members asked "Did it not occur to you to ask the returning officers?" ... "Is it fair to say that you did not realise there were detailed rules concerning room bookings?". Roche replied, "Yes".
Roche also stated that it was mainly Daniel Johnson who came up with the ideas for the rulebook reforms.
When the hearing re-joins after lunch, they will be considering the next set of allegations concerning the termcard.
