First interruption from the judge. CCC QC a lot louder and sounds more like a QC should. Which means nothing to the result of course...

By my reckoning there are about 15 people connected to the intarwebs in here right now so I'll do some digging :-)

No sign of Les Reid in court. Unless he's hiding under a wig and gown...

Ha! Sisu QC just referenced the scene in Blazing Saddles where the sherif holds up himself. Missed out verbatim quote with the N-word. And it's over to the council QC... CCC & ACL are autonomous and separate. There were often tensions between the two.

Sisu QC "ACL had been saddled with an unaffordable loan so ACL saddled the club with an unaffordable rent"

Sisu QC on the 'finally' part! Irrationality...

Higgs v Sisu hands down over this. Far more oohs & aahs and you got some fun cross-examinations which are sorely missing here. BTW, the 'nil-nil' draw was in terms of claims won. Sisu's counter-claim was dropped early on and Higgs lost their original claim because the judge decided that Sisu...

Is that a thing? I boycott Starbucks for sporting and taste reasons but this sounds like something they'd be up to

Sisu QC now into references to previous cases. Apparently we have something in common with Austria on this one. And now Copenhagen...

In fact you can add coffee masquerading as a dessert trolly to my list of pet hates.

Urgh. Rather drink water. Coffee with milk and no fannying around.

Back in court after seafood noodles and a Greggs coffee in hand. Sisu QC summing up and laying into ACL's viability as a going concern. Fair play to the bloke, he's been going for hours now. Not sure he'd be top of my list for a dinner party tho'

Sisu QC saying what he wants to say about legal references etc. to come. Discussion on timings for rest of case. Clive Eakin looks like he'd rather be watching an international tiddlywinks friendly than be here.

Simon Gilbert has his head down going for a tactical snooze?

Sisu QC offered judge opportunity to break for lunch but denied! Worst news since the coat hanger story. My stomach is about to get slapped with a contempt of court charge any minute now.

I think the discussions about a smoking gun were a bit presumptive. Not having a lot of the disclosure evidence read in due to dropping arguments yesterday has taken a lot of potential fun and scandal away. Wonder if we'll ever get to see those? Civil action maybe? Meh. This really is the dry...

Everybody in court (apart from Sisu QC, Council QC & judge) flagging now. All the activity around the last break and the accounts is long gone. Looks like Sisu QC is summing up

The Higgs Centre is separate from the AEHC IIRC?

Discussion on development value of car park. Best value as car show room!

Got to say I'm flagging here. The court recorder pulled out a banana at the break earlier which shows that he knows his stuff. Roll on lunch...
