Counter-suit merely a diversionary/warning tactic I'd have thought.
Don't think it was brought to get more information for Sisu either, as it seems from their questioning that they would have already known about anything "revealed" today.
I'd be extremely surprised if Higgs don't win this case, think Sisu would be even more surprised.
The only doubt would be if the agreement by Sisu to pay the Higgs costs was tied up in the HOT agreeement, which as we all know wasn't signed.
It's not like councils, and Coventry City Council in particular, haven't lost court cases or spent an awful lot of money on them, or even gone to the lengths of placing an injunction so that they couldn't be named before.
Think it came from CCFC at the time of Ricoh rental agreement.
Seem to remember that Robinson was supposed to be personally liable for the rent if the club didn't pay it.
Don't think anything came out of that in the end though.
