Clive Eakin has been relegated to the public area at the back with the rest of us. I'm on the back row behind TF & SG with Pat Abel, D & Jon Strange.

Judge in and off we go with the CCC QC

Too soon

Overall summary... TBH, it all comes down to how convinced the judge is at the end of submissions. No point in any second guessing or analysis really. Interesting potential blows landed on both sides but wait until the final call. No fun things released... Negotiations to follow...PLEASE!

Judge questioning CCC QC on time required. CCC QC waffling but says will finish before lunch (with 9.30 start) then ACL QC. We may be done mid-afternoon..? Then judge's judging time...

“You mean my entire fallacy is wrong?” ;)

This.

It woke a few people up but I think they thought the session was over and were ready to jump up for the judge's exit. 5 mins to go...

Only thing available is free water & free electricity (well, nobody has stopped me plugging into the floor socket next to Tim Fisher). They're missing a trick here in the court complex...they'd make a fortune in coffee and tissue sales.

Bit of a ding-dong. CCC QC having a pop at Sisu being on their high horse but being hypocritical and throwing a few accusations about. Much rustling & muttering on Sisu side and Sisu QC making some points. All over different approaches to the bank.

Thickness-wise it's 93 pages v 63 in 'favour' of Sisu. Interesting stuff? Not at all. Basically 'Sisu's arguments are wrong, not state aid'

Going by the look of the skeleton arguments in the trial kit booklet, he will probably finish quicker than Sisu's guy did although he does seem to be getting into a bit of a groove now so could be going for a while. Note to self: Bring between-meal snacks tomorrow.

Bear in mind that the CCC QC will be trying to give a positive spin to his side. Judge listening a lot. Well, he was staring out of the window just now. Making copious notes so maybe some questioning to come soon. Personally I'd love a fast forward to the home stretch tomorrow :-) Into the...

CCC QC reading in emails between PwC, Deloittes and ACL re: ACL cost savings – prospect for ACL being sustainable Refutes Sisu assertion that CCC didn't have this info before loan meeting

CCC QC ' Confidence all round in ACL's ability to grow its business' summer 2012

It was referred to quite a lot during Sisu QC's bit this morning.

Our lowest point according to Stuart 'Cossy' Cosgrove. And a fair few others. Was speaking to a CCFC person remembering that era before court this morning. ('Is that Ken sitting on the bench?'; 'No, don't be silly'; 'Bloody hell, it is! WTF?!')

Judge quizzing CCC QC on value of loan & stadium now. Got to love his facial expressions. Various versions of 'Yeah, right'.
