Discharge = buy the debt

@CovBackToRicoh: #ccfcincourt 11 Aug 2012 – deal still on for Sisu to 'discharge' ACL debt

Pkh: critical of CCC and John mutton. CCC a large animal with conflicting views. Council buyout of higgs's share "our get out of jail free card" (From 'moving parts memo' docs aug 2012)

Deep into communications behind the agreement (or lack of) now. Gary Hoffman and Joe Elliot mentioned in comms at time of due diligence. Sitting next to Simon Gilbert – steam coming off his pen!

Urgh. Reference to emails where it was agreed that all 3 parties should work together. Can we go back in time please?

Discussion on sep bank negs in Leeds with ACL wanting to keep theirs secret from sisu (emails)

Looks like QC will be earning his money today. He was flapping a lot yesterday but going in depth to PKH statement

A bit of hair-splitting I think. Sisu's QC setting up some things I think. Now into relationship with Webber Shandwick. They're referring to evidence that we can't see (until later) so more difficult to follow some parts.

Haha! PKH: no knowledge of sisu out QC: what about attaching balloons to Fishers car? PKH: I did not. I placed a half-deflated balloon under the windscreen wiper !!! Tim Fisher pissing himself. Hector on the stand later?

PKH on the stand now. Preliminary legal points re: his witness statement

Just checking in. In Greggs grabbing a pasty and large coffee before heading in for the 'fun'.

Not too much to add to what's been said apart from: Loads of time spent on deciding if Sisu's counter claim was valid but no so down to the judges summary of that in the morning then on with the rest of Sisu's case including Peter K-H and Paul Harris on the witness stand followed by Laura...

Just been chatting with a few people at the court and about to leave Brum. Will update and answer outstanding questions on the way back to nicer parts of Warwickshire ;)

Judge to give judgement tomorrow on issue (what they've been discussing) Counter claim disposed!

There's more than that. Judge still to decide if need for witnesses or decide without = shorter case.

were both sides acting in good faith during negotiations? Did either side want to make a deal?

Evidence already submitted as part of skeleton arguments submitted prior. All this is about judge being able to make a decision based on that plus AEHC barristers submission this morning. Sisu QC wants to call PKH and Harris to the stand, judge might not think he needs to hear it. Evidence...

You're right. Sorry, hard to listen, translate, stay awake and write here!

Haha! If I weren't writing to you lot Id be asleep! 20ft square room, mainly taken up with legal people, 12 people watching sat at the back, all in suits/'business attire'. This makes a council meeting look like prime time viewing.

Both. If you are sued you have to counter claim to defend otherwise pay up
