Can we forget about the sideshow that is the court case, and instead take a moment to appreciate exactly how dirty MMM's wife is?

of course it will be if the lawyers get their way - paid by the hour. Sisu's 8 lawyers will be raking it in.

Evidence already submitted as part of skeleton arguments submitted prior.

All this is about judge being able to make a decision based on that plus AEHC barristers submission this morning.

Sisu QC wants to call PKH and Harris to the stand, judge might not think he needs to hear it.

Evidence submitted so far should still get out in public (inc. Emails)

Everybody wins? 29k to AEHC, emails in the public domain.

Seems to be coming up to final furlong...

£20 to £25K a day would be a decent estimate whilst at trial. Could easily be double. Plus preparation.

That's a lot of curried chicken pies at the fabled My Little Pony Arena

There's more than that. Judge still to decide if need for witnesses or decide without = shorter case.

Should SISU lose I wonder where the debt for all that is going to end up?

Why wouldn't they be? That will be the crux of their argument presumably.

Belize case something to do with interpretation of contract law and stuff like that.
Belize communications. Without reading into it too much it might be something to do with the various elements that are CCFC/sisu and their various connotations and how it relates to the contract?

Of course. But they can only have an argument in there's a case to answer. Ditto JR for that matter

Sisu's counter claim includes fees for advisors such as Tim Fisher and Paul Barber of Avro.

Sisu QC says if Higgs had withdrawn from negotiations openly Sisu would not have incurred costs and neither side could have sought costs.

Couple of questions

If the emails etc have not actually been used in the court are they public record? It seems that there has been plenty of legal argument prior to a case actually starting in terms of witnesses and documents. If the case was struck out or simply decided by the judge on the barristers submissions so far then those documents have not been read in court have they? therefore not public record........ which is perhaps why they want witnesses to be questioned

Has the judge accepted a link via beneficial ownership between SISU and SBS&L? because I would think if there is no link then I suspect ARVO, SBS&L and CCFC H will not be able to use the documents unless they are actually used in the court. The case is Higgs vs SISU isn't it?

Disposed? Does that mean SISU's claim has been rejected?

That sounds like it gone about as badly as it could possibly go for SISU today. Seems like he's close to telling SISU to go away and stop wasting everyones time!

Yes, Simon also reporting on twitter it seems the counterclaim has been thrown out.

Yeah. But that's all wrong.

Unless they can actually build a case, either here of at JR; then all they will influence is hearts and minds. Which is what they should have done - if they have been mistreated - months if not years ago.

Now, by their own actions, they've backed themselves into a corner. Without victory, we can all see they're buggered; and by definition, so is the football club.

This was always the risky outcome of trying to use a sledgehammer to crack the proverbial - which is way I've always been mystified by those to 'support' it; the move to Sixfields and the fabled stadium, which are all gilding the lily of a disastrous overly-aggressive and self-serving route

Personally i don't think SISU give a shit about this court case and i'm not surprised it was thrown out. It's the JR they want.

Apparently it's in the back pocket of a kid called Charlie and he was last seen entering a chocolate factory.
