SISU Appeal Thrown Out

[Neils]

So what do they next do to us.

[NellyWellyWaspy]

They have to decide whether to go to the European Court, which has a time limit from when they receive the formal documents from the court of the decision, or start civil action. They have up to 6 years after the date of the transactions they feel financially disadvantaged them, or they become time barred. If they decide to go to the European Court, they have to ask leave to appeal to that court. Their last case never got that far. But, should they go ahead with that, then the 6 years for civil action will be up.

One thing I seriously doubt that they will is 'give up all the legals'.

[Neils]

No I agree with you they have said in the past that they will continue through the "normal" legal process until they fail and then open up civil cases to continue. Not gone but another hurdle over. Lets hope the fences get bigger and bigger.

[jamestaylor002]

So, lets say they go down the civil route. At what point do the courts say enough is enough? Or do they let the money they make from it continue to come rolling in?

[Neils]

That is JR2 now thrown out in this country. I recall they indicted a possible JR3 (can't for the life of me remember what and why) after which they would fall back on Civil Action. However going the Civil route does open them up to counter Civil Actions by Whoever. Messy messy business. As Nelly said they could still try EU Courts on JR2 god help us.

How does the dreaded B word affect any appeal to the Euro courts?

Can't be complacent if SISU try to go through civil courts, they have a different burden of proof.

[Neils]

B has no effect yet.

[Trevs Big Tackle]

Yup. So if SISU get their appeal to the euro courts before B-day (Halloween, maybe) will the courts hear the case or will it be dropped if the UK is out of the EU?

[Neils]

Who knows!

[Trevs Big Tackle]

Who knows!

Much like every other aspect of "B"!

[Neils]

Don't try politics here please! Enough on the telly. 

[jamestaylor002]

Who knows!

Touche Neils! Not very familiar with the legal system myself so I wouldn't know

[Neils]

Sadly I was! But some of this completely throws me with the continued machinations and body swerves SISU employ. It is just a case of watching where they pop up next plus I hope Wasps don't blink.

BREAKING: Wasps issue statement in response to today’s Supreme Court decision.

MEDIA RELEASE

Nick Eastwood, Chief Executive of the Wasps Group, said "We have noted the Supreme Court's ruling and we sincerely hope this marks a watershed in this long running saga.

We would urge the owners of Coventry City Football Club to take this opportunity and cease this legal action, allowing them finally to come to the table to discuss the club's future at the Ricoh Arena - something all parties are keen to see happen."

Am I reading too much into the wording of this statement where Nick says "to take this opportunity and cease this legal action." Is he actually referring to this legal action only? Possibly opening the door for another short term lease with CCFC?

[Vespula Vulgaris]

Smart move.  He's basically stated that they have to commit to stopping the legals regardless of this particular case being thrown out of court, and that we would be willing to talk about letting them stay. Yet has not actually offered anything at all.
