REAKING:An application for a judicial review by Sky Blues' owners against Coventry City Council has been thrown out by a High Court judge.

Ricoh Arena has been Coventry City's home since 2005
The application by Sisu companies had accused the council of acting unlawfully in January when it bought out part-council owned Ricoh firm Arena Coventry Limited's mortgage debt from Yorkshire Bank for £14million.
The judge ruled the council acted properly following the football club's decision to withhold £100,000-a-month rental payments to ACL.

Full story to follow from Les Reid.

More evidence of Fisher and SISU incompetence, shame the FL did not see it. Not only thrown out but thrown out BECAUSE OF their immoral actions. :) :) :)

Can you explain what this is about implications etc ?

Implications are mainly cost, no need to hire (expensive!) lawyers to defend a case elsewhere, council loan validated as legal so ACL can now press ahead with certainty knowing their outgoings won't change...

And no innuendo that by bringing a case, there must be something to answer.

Basically it gives official credence to the council taking on the loan from the Yorkshire Bank, and shows it to have been a valid thing for them to do.

On the (naively hopeful!) side, it might allow us to move on with some negotiations about staying in the bloody thing, now that's not hanging over the whole schebang!

I wouldn't say it's great news but it's certainly positive! another obstacle out of the way and a few more quid from Sisu's sticky mitts.

would be quite suprised if sisu didn't appeal but would this then cost them much more?

Who's turning?!?

Read again, and you'll see I've ALWAYS been concerned that court cases mean the 'winners' have to find costs too.

Also read again, and ever since SISU came I've been against them!

It's just some on here read into statements what they want to read, if it threatens their black and white world view...

Judge throws out JR

Judges throw out the JR, C'mon ACL time to throw everything and the kitchen sink at Septic,Fisher and SISU now. It's time to get on the front foot and get rid of them once and for all.

Knocks back SISU's hopes of distressing Ricoh stakeholders to gain ownership of Arena ?

If this is confirmed on (expected) appeal does that now mean SISU have absolutely no connection or leverage re Ricoh ?

Could have knock-on effect on the whole of SISU's strategy ?

I could never see the grounds for the case. I am no legal eagle by any means but the £14million is a loan at a cheaper rate than the Yorkshire Loan, so it is a win win situation ACL save money and in time ccc earn money and this is allowed by central Government.
If sisu do appeal it will be interesting on what grounds.

Mr Justice Males has made the reasons for his judgment very clear. We note, in particular, his reference to the withholding of lawfully owed rent by SISU as a means of exerting pressure on ACL in commercial negotiations, which had led to an unsatisfied judgment in the High Court in ACL’s favour

hopefully the courts have now had enough of SISU and the way they use the system as leverage in their quest to take over the world.

does any one else feel that sisu and joy & her henchemn could be used as a backdrop in a james bond story line?

It still means there will be a court case, but sisu instead of ACL will be the defendants - reason? because cva was not signed Otium/ sisu's accounts will have to be thoroughly investigated. And as the lawyers will not be assigned by sisu (as they are in effect the defendant) and they do not have a vested interest to hush things up and move on (like the football league IMHO), they will have to explain why they haven't published their accounts for years, and explain when all the assets of value were assigned to holdings rather than ltd!

Bearing in mind there was no documentary evidence provided to the league of the move, it is highly unlikely they can prove the move was anything more than moving assets just prior to liquidation (ie as I understand it that is called in legal jargon fraud - but I could bewrong!

Will be interesting the first time any sky blues fan sees Ms Seppalla is when she is on trial for fraud and corruption! If it does go down that route, it will be hard for some if any of the Football League dinosaurs to remain in post considering they would have in effect have been complicit in allowing a fraud to continue, when they are supposedly the ones cleaning up the game!

Of course it's all ifs and bus, but I suspect the crowing e-mails of Mr Linnells one time sponsors (as he HAS done presentation work for the club, it is hard to argue he hasn't worked for them in the past - in the same way he doesn't work for the bbc! Sorry Mr Linnell, but if you take payment for services rendered, you have worked for that entity!
This is important as it shows a potential conflict of interest. You have shown your true colours saturday, when you stated on air that you do not work for the BBC on the Sky Blues Interactive show broadcast on BBC CWR! Self employed does not mean you don't work for someone (otherwise who would pay you)! All it means is that the BBC do not have to pay pension, health etc. This was why the BBC are being investigated by HMRC!

To say it is ingenuous of Mr Linnell to say he doesn't work for the BBC is an understatement! Hopefully he will get out of dodge with his sisu chums! The man is odious beyond belief IMHO
