Why does she say we instead of "Tim"? Implies consent.

I won't give you a Nürnberg trials analogy here, but TATA Group is a bit bigger than a small - in terms of staff numbers - hedge fund in London. Joy had said she would take a more "hands-on" role. Her company had poured piles of Investors money into a loss making soccer team and she was trying...

Legally it is possible. The same as ML not hearing any last minute ACL offer as he was wearing a different hat on that day. You can claim that it wasn't your decision and you didn't approve of it. All legal, but not necessarily the case in reality. More like "standard business practice".

"a bit silly". I think it makes them look like cheats just trying to wriggle out of something. The longer this goes on, the worse they look. As the judge said "but you're not a charity are you?". In other words " bullshit!".

No. PWKH made a point of stressing under oath, that he "placed the balloon" under the wipers and did not therefore did not attach it.

How much have the council taken out so far to swell their coffers?

Strange that ML says that ACL are ravacious landlords, but half of their ravacious business is worth sweet F.A.

@ Grendel. No I am not a qualified lawyer. You seem to think that CCC have been caught out and I thought you could maybe explain how and what effect this will have.

Back to the point. Higgs were worried about the ethics of doing a deal on the loan without informing SISU. They asked Steve West for confirmation that SISU had been informed, which he confirmed. Apparently he hadn't informed SISU - according to SISU. How is this decisive? It was only a question...

I don't think YB offered it as 8 Million. The "Queen of debt" wanted YB to cave in at 8 or get nothing. Question of legality and of future credit rating for CCC.

The arrival of SISU was seen as a chance of something good happening, but that has long gone. The charity is, IMO, taking some risks e.g. Here and with Brown's, but it has an interest in Coventry and helping Coventrians written into it. So I would still side with them when in doubt as to who's...

I would agree. Totally pointless. SISU should have payed the money they allegedly owe and not have turned up with an army of lawyers. Waste of their time and money. They own a league one football club and I would have hoped they spend more time and money on that than on trying to batter...

They do overlap. The definition of "good faith", the change of CCC, ACL direction regarding the YB loan and so on would be relevant to the JR. I would be feeling a bit sick having just taken an army of lawyers to a court case only to be shown the door.

If it looked as if Higgs had used dirty psychological tricks, I would agree with Grendel. As far as I can see, Higgs have not said much apart from that they are owed money. Let's see if that stands up in court.

I think sendung an army of lawyers is partly designed to show your strength of belief that you have a sound case, in the hope that that impresses the court. I can't see why you would otherwise risk losing and paying all the lawyers fees for any other reason. How many lawyers would you normaly...

If they had just said we owe you nothing, Higgs would have to prove that they did owe something. If they don't owe anything, then Higgs pay the costs. Less risk for SISU and Higgs. Making it into a mega trial only serves to frighten the opponents and maybe influence the judge. A bit like as in a...

To me SISU were always and still are the bad guys. Turning up with an army of lawyers with a ridiculously high counter claim against a paltry 29000 claim from a charity. Whatever their supposed real motives are, they are not getting my support. Fees for advice from Tim Fisher!!? I hope they lose...

They also have to pay their own legal team.

If the judge decides that there is no legal case, then what relevant evidence can there be? If there are grounds for a case, then bring in the evidence.

I think selling players was more to do with losing 44 million than a few years @ 1,3 million instead of @ 400,00.
