Bid to recover Hamza legal costs

The most recent recovery hearing took place at the Old Bailey on 29 June.

The next one was due on 31 August but the process has been put on hold because al-Masri is appealing against his convictions.

Shouldn't it be the appeal that's put on hold until the outcome of the recovery hearing is decided? Throwing good money after bad, I presume.
