I'm not sure I understand what you are getting at.

Speaker Zwozdesky heard both sides of the Contempt of Parliament on Thursday in the Legislature. He reserved his decision until next week (wise move IMO) to review everything. So there will be a outcome next week.

Now if you mean outcome will likely be she won't be found in contempt; I agree that is probable. He may cite that there is too much ambiguity surrounding the issue for him to make a definitive decision.

Admittedly I'm not well versed on the procedure. For example does the speaker have the ability to refer this to an outside body for review? I'm not clear on what all his options might be.
