The case would also be breaking new ground legally, as potentially the first appeal of its kind to be heard in the whole of Europe.
According to Tony they will not appeal - they are out of funds and the investors are up in arms.
I would be if was an investor. I would take my money elsewhere.

Unless of course the investor is Seppala.

You seem remarkably happy for your money to be spent on court cases instead of the team.According to Tony they will not appeal - they are out of funds and the investors are up in arms.
Sisu will appeal Monday's High Court judgment. So what happens next in the battle with Coventry City Council?
Here's an outline of the process: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/what-next-sisu-v-coventry-7363893

Are you following up the costs decision Simon?
I would add it is my understanding that even if the appeal is refused the Court of Appeal as a matter of law must refer points of European law that are not acte clair (ie transparent and straight forward) to the Court of Justice of the European Union
FFs really am sick of this off the field shit now enough is enough, there could be another 7 months of this shit
Maybe so. But I would be surprised if points of European law is what is under scrutiny.
The judge said the law in this particular area was "quite clear"
wouldn't the basis of their appeal be that this was state aid under European Law though and that because the private investors argument has never been brought before in the UK that the details are not clear and need Court of Justice of the European Union scrutiny? It may still be thrown out but you can bet they will be prepared to throw more money at legals having come this far
Not saying they (SISU) are right, personally I think the latest judgement was clear and straight forward - the facts he has made clear pretty much confirm much of what I have been saying for months. However in my opinion the object of SISU court action is not always about having a good case.
Sisu's rent strike was not illegal? That's a new and interesting concept.
Try telling that to any people who don't pay their rent/mortgage.

The judge was extremely clear in his ruling, however he build his decision on two things:
1) The fact that the council already owns 50% of ACL so the loan can be seen as protection of their investment. On that basis he said it was not state aid. This could be seen as a national court protecting a national council, and may not be what the state aid legislation was intended for by the EU commission.
2) The rent strike was aimed at distressing ACL. While this is true it may not be illegal in itself and it can be argued it cannot be the foundation of deciding if state aid is unlawful or not.
I think Sisu's only chance of getting the judgement overturned is to get the case to the EU commission and looked at by 'European' rather than 'British' eyes.
So my question is - when they have exhausted all national options, can they bring it to the commission in Bruxelles or the EU court of Justice in Luxembourg?
The first stage in the process requires Sisu to apply to Mr Justice Hickinbottom - as the judge in the recent proceedings - for leave to appeal, usually within seven days.
That process will require Sisu’s legal team to outline which elements of the judgment they take issue with and the legal basis for their argument
When I suggested they should have took it to the European Commission in the first place were you one of the posters telling me i was talking rubbish?
In which case her stubbornness is doing more harm to her.
