Jammy T Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Finally people need to consider the fact that it is nearly a 100% certainty that a court case once raise will not conclude. This is why we should raise it tomorrow. 1. If the indicative vote fails that provides the foundation for interim interdict (as what will change in a week) so we get an Interim interdict or at least our claim in court - the bluff option is gone for our SPFL friends. 2. They have a week to sort their shit out before the actual vote. 3. it is a material change which may impact the vote next week or at the very least will allow the SPFL to call an emergency situation and take control. There are other reasons we should start next week but not as important as the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToqueJambo Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Scnorthedinburgh said: And that is the thinking from 40 other odd clubs fans that will see some vote no tomorrow and we go down, and Scottish football gets a hit. I support Hearts as the saying goes FTH and what it may mean to them. No idea what you mean. Only Hearts, Thistle and Stranraer are at serious threat here from that vote to end the league and have relegation. None of the other clubs are. And none will be under threat because of reconstruction. If they vote no it's petty vindictive reasons. Turning up for a cup semi final even when on your knees - and having been disadvantaged by the actions of the other 3 teams left in the tournament including your direct competitor in the semi - is completely different to that.

There won't be 19 leagues with no relegation. 15/20 are playing out a full season and the vast majority of those will have relegation as normal. Point being that only 5/20 cancelled the season before the end and Scotland looks set to be the only one of them to have any relegation. If the SPFL had resumed and finished after 38 games then no-one would be objecting to us going down. Every team relegated will have played a full set of fixtures apart from Hearts.

Just state it's not relevant when the next season has started and squads and player registration dates have changed. Would we be considered as bringing the game into disrepute if we did that? Is that even a thing? If the championship does start on Oct17th how are they expecting Hearts to cram 27 league games, league cup games & scottish cup games in? If there are no league 1 or 2? Does the League/Scottish cup start at the 3rd round? Then if you factor in the Norwich situation, they can’t play next weekend as a player tested positive you could potentially have the same situation up here, games called off and then factor in the Scottish weather.... the whole situation is a farce.

This is the way that he does current business and the way he expects to do it in future. He doesn't like being told he is wrong and he won't pay a QC to hear something he doesn't like. Nothing much will happen tonight, but tomorrow is a different story. Expect twists and turns, then more of the same.

b-reed Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 13 minutes ago, Jammy T said: Jambo66 is basically nailing it. If an unlawful act is taking place or about to take place against a party that will cause injury or loss then an interim (temporary) interdict will generally be granted to “pause the clock” until the merits of the case are fought out in full. There are a number of factors to this but you only at the first stage require to establish a prima facie case of an unlawful act. An act that, on the face of it, is unlawful and will cause injury to the other party if it continues. The court will consider the negative outcome to the party against which the interdict is being sought. So, for example, had the season started we’d be up against it, but it hasn’t. Tom Hardy said something the may have merit. Preparations for the league starting could potentially be interdicted, for example, issuing the fixture list; confirming the fixtures to Sky. But it’s hard to know as it is a unique case Its a conundrum because the subject matter is not my speciality, however, if I was advising on this case I would be advising, for a number of reasons, that if the indicative vote fails tomorrow papers are lodged that afternoon or Tuesday. As regards length of hearing you can get processed sped up - this would be a prime case for that. As people have been moaning about me asking 😒 this is why I was keen to find out about Brodie’s as they are certainly busy on something at the moment - which would seem unusual in the present circumstances but I recall that Shepherd & Wedderburn had a Sports Law team I think so it may be them. It’s odd, I am sure somebody on here would know who our lawyers are. I’m sure Brodie’s were when Romanov was around. I think you cover that really well but the only point I would make is that yes normally you could speed up the process... that would be when all the courts are sitting but most are not sitting at the moment and wont be for some weeks yet... I do agree that papers should be served tomorrow or Tuesday and not wait till the next again vote... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A legal case could suspend the start of the campaign which would be very costly, create uncertainty when we all need certainty to budget and plan, and of course there is the risk of compensation being due if we win. This is the part I don't get, people are focused on the 3 relegated clubs and saying 'suck it up' and are behaving as if there themselves are not facing serious threats too if this is not resolved through recon.

I think that's quite a cynical view to be honest. I am sure that some do behave in that way, but I don't usually have a problem getting an objective view from Counsel about the prospects of success. It is often the case that Counsel is being instructed to provide a second view on a matter anyway. The solicitors have often already provided an indication on prospects of success and cost exposure. Counsel's opinion is often sought to confirm or disagree. Been involved in that sort of thing many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go down a leave and lose £8m in the process and win a case and don’t get that money back I’m not sure even James Naderson would bail us out. We’d be as well starting again. Again. Presumably we could take steps to liquidate each and every one of them 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We instruct the best QCs in their field and, as a firm, are only interested in clear focussed advice that gives clear guidance on both the law, strategy and prospects of success. We don’t work with QCs that don’t work that way. But that’s unusual because most QCs are very keen to work with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
