Just to add the court is not currently in session as they are attempting to reboot the broadband!!

I dont know why i laughed at this just that it seems like one of those British farce comedies.

 

How do we think this is landing with Lord Clark ?

 

Stronger argument than yesterday ??

Thanks David once again. 👍 Did we score there. 

 David Thomson has been excellent today, interesting that Lord Clark has started asking about evidence requirements for full trial, specifically cross-examination of Doncaster and Nelms.

Just seen some sensational headlines in both the Glasgow rags, “the rebels could be kicked out” as warned by lawyer, was that in yesterday’s hearing? 

What if we boot out the other 39 instead?

Totally my thoughts but reading the above post it appears the judge seems to be interjecting into quite a lot our QC is arguing. It wasn’t too forth coming yesterday when the others had their say.

was he and I just missed it?

He has started asking about evidence requirements for a full trial, you’d assume if he was minded to sist, he wouldn’t bother.

I thought this, but maybe it’s because we only get one shot at it so the judge wants to be clear. Perhaps he will be more involved in when their QC next speaks?

I think a couple of his interjections have been very positive.

There was a cheeky comment along this lines.   Their headline after today could be "the rebels could be reinstated".    Feels like a nonsense we could be kicked out for raising valid issues,  on the other hand reinstatement is still on the table.

Heart of Midlothian/Partick Thistle v SPFL: Day 2

 

 

David Thomson QC – Hearts/Partick

 

The effect of Section of 2010 Arbitration Act – the language is clear, unambiguous and speaks for itself.

 

The court does not have a discretion to overlook this language.  This seems to be at odds with the position in England and is based on different historical context.

 

Feels that the motion is ill-conceived and that the right to seek a sist depends on the applicant doing neither of the actions stated in 10(1d). To retain the right to seek a sist the respondents must not place substantive answers.

 

Thomson disputed Borland’s argument that they had to give a substantive answer. There is no basis that this could be considered to be a 2-sided dispute.

 

Motions for interim order argued daily without defences being lodged.

 

Therefore argues that the right to seek arbitration has been lost.

 

Any referral to arbitration would lead to valuable time being lost and more importantly the matters raised are of significant public interest and concern.

 

Reference is made to the extraordinary communication made to clubs last week telling them that it was necessary for them to support the SPFL in order to see the papers.

 

Lord Clark highlights that the email from Dundee was received at 4:48pm on the day on question.  Does this help in speeding things up.?

 

DT refers to the debacle of the Dundee vote and the public interest in clearing this up.

 

We are entitled to discover the truth of what happened in that episode.

 

Lord Clark: Will evidence, afadavits and witness statements be required? Will witnesses be required to be led.

 

DT – the focus of the petitioners is likely to be on documentary evidence, but cant say for certain there would be no need for cross-examination… particularly the conversations between John Nelms and Neil Doncaster.  There would also be an evidence requirement for any compensation demand.

 

Lord Clark: A requirement for evidence and limited cross-examination.

 

DT – Submission 2

 

No valid arbitration clause is in play.  The starting point in any consideration should be the SPFL rules and these are not clear or definitive about arbitration

 

Reliance about SFA disciplinary rule 78 by Moynihan to suggest agreement to arbitration process does no such thing.

 

In the context of the present petition the arbitration provision of article 99 has not been incorporated.

 

Lord Clark – Is there a members agreement amongst clubs to resolve disputes via arbitration.

 

DT – Yes but only under article 99 and this petition is brought as shareholders within the SPFL Ltd. This why this is not a football dispute.

 

Temporary break in proceedings due to Broaband Issues – court not in session

Thankyou.

That is VERY interesting.  Maybe he's thinking ahead and time constraints for the league.

Interjections come accross as bad, interuptions etc, but in general if you stand your ground and answer confidently its a good thing,  Its a human thing, I have been in a case and i was sure the Judge was sleeping, until I was asked a very basic question I was not expecting and tried very hard to anwser in leymans terms

And we're back.

 

If further technical issues arise they'll pause for a break and resolve again.

 

Only 49 mins left of today though.

Might be normal for the "attacking " QC, he is making the case and may not have reference as it's new ground so the judge will want to keep pace, on point and within context.

The judge shouldn't need to ask too much of a defending QC he isn;'t trying to press a issue or break into new territory.

If this was the case the original vote was rejected. League couldnt be called and the 3 teams given promotion had no right to be promoted.

 

This may have been discussed but Im not fully up to date with everything.

Just been told that Competition Authority decided that the Pro League’s decision to relegate Waasland-Beveren is justified.

This is despite the auditore of Competition Authority saying something completely different last month on two separate occasions.

More when I find out.

If this ends in a nil-nil draw, does it go to extra time and penalties, or like the Ryder cup the the current holder retains the cup?

 

Still this is good, and its eating up the clock, if that matters.

 

Is it a points victory or will we get a knockout in the last round?

 

only got on for 5 mins and they axed the feed

It's bollocks. It's the ultimate sanction according to the SFA rules. Another is a £1 million fine. It would never happen. Even if the SFA/SPFL win they'd waive penalties in order to appear magnanimous. A non-story. Ignore.
