Mr Rabbit Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 2 hours ago, redjambo said: So why do you think that such confidence is "faux", Mr Rabbit? Do you have access to legal opinion that says so? Or is it just your hunch? Also, which other court proceedings in the Scottish civil courts relating to clubs expelled from a league because that league was called early can you refer to? Not many, I would imagine. Nope I don’t have any legal knowledge but I would hazard a guess that the majority of the people on here saying that we will win in court don’t either. FWIW I’m not saying that we wouldn’t be successful I’m just questioning why people would rather go down the court route than reconstruction. In regards to your question about Scottish courts specifically I appreciate what you’re trying to imply however if anything I think that’s another reason why I would question going down that route. This country is focused around two teams and only two teams. Whilst people who have no interest in football think that focusing on what league a football team is in whilst people are dying is a great waste of time despite what we think as fans. If it was as cut and dry as many think then Partick, the team who have the greatest case, would of pushed on with court proceedings weeks ago.

We hope that the resolution being prepared will avoid the need to go down this route. Legal action would be both time consuming and expensive. However the cost to the club of relegation would outweigh these considerations. To our supporters, we thank you for showing patience and continuing to back the club. We will continue to fight against what we believe is an unjust outcome. 👍 How many times have you got to post this. Do some people just appear on page 600 and don't read club statements.

Gilamas Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 1 hour ago, OldGorgie said: A huge amount of miss information has been bandied about on Hearts taking legal action. One being that companies like to forgo legal action in favour of outside settlement. Any action that Hearts take in the court will be on civil law. The only court that can deal with civil law is the Court of Session. At the moment the court is dealing with a restricted case load. For Hearts the only option Is an interim interdict. Other ideas such as arbitration are a complete waste of time, as they are unlikely to be immediate and forceful. Not quite. The sheriff court has exclusive jurisdiction for civil matters up to £100,000. Above that and there is a choice of sheriff court or Session Court. (In reality, likely to be Session Court due to the potential impact and consequences). Separately, an interim interdict is a temporary stoppage - to prevent someone from doing something (eg starting a new league season! Or preventing them from transferring money) which might undermine the rationale of the case you are trying to bring. A request for an interim interdict can be made at sheriff court or session court level ... and in either case is followed up by a court case on the merits of the matter itself.

Rods Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Another theory I have been thinking about on why the dramatic change of heart happend regarding reconstruction is that Dundee effectively changed their vote for reconstruction. Nelms said as much in his interview to the press and journal. He was fooled of course and we all knew that except him. Perhaps Nelms has intimidated to Doncaster that reconstruction has to happen or he spills the beans. That would make the original vote null and void and spell big trouble for you know who.

These clubs did not suffer any actual loss other than the opportunity to gain promotion. Dundee Utd would have been in the same position if Scotland had null and voided the season. Entirely different from our situation as we stand to lose millions of pounds due to an unjust expulsion. Is that not what we were wanting to do initially as well and our position has changed as each avenue has been closed off?! Whilst admittedly not knowing all the ins and outs of Dutch football. Both the clubs will suffer at not being promoted albeit I agree it’s not the same as a team being demoted. However if either team had been relegated last season or had invested a lot of money to get promoted in one season they too would suffer massively.
