It was the awful photoshop rather than the witch!
Them witch posters everyone got their nickers in a twist about all of a sudden look very complimentary.
But didn't Tim say that SISU would never have taken on the lease on the
Terms that wasps agreed.
QC claims delay is enough to throw out application
Mr Goudie says his argument of excessive delay is particularly important because there are third parties with significant interests in this case.
The judge says “there is a public interest in not having thing overturned many years after the event”.
Mr Goudie says this is one of many “knockout points” and that there was “delay after delay” in bringing this case to court.
He adds the court should take into account any “lack of urgency” from the claimant.
He’s referring to previous case law to back up his points about why the case should be thrown out.
Mr Goudie says the legal principle around delay not being allowed would be “seriously emasculated” if the court did not agree with him.
He says Wasps and Ricoh firm ACL are the main victims of the delay.
He says the delay issue is all that needs to be addressed. He adds that this doesn’t mean the claimants have no merit in their claim, but he feels it’s unnecessary to go into that because the delay issue is the only one that needs to be addressed and is enough to have the application thrown out.
Does anybody know how long this will go on for this time?
I wonder if they would prefer to wrap this up based upon a technical error which is harder to dispute than a subjective debate based on differing valuations? Seems to be labouring the point though...He's going hard about the delay, rather than no wrongdoing.

Rival bidders? Was there anyone else willing to move their club 100 miles?"
He says the terms given to Wasps were never offered to Sisu or any other potential bidders.
He argues that this shows the council did not do everything it could to secure the best possible price for the asset by attracting rival bidders to drive up the purchase price.

To be fair, that is the council bang to rights as far as I am concerned...
What outcome will folk realistically be hoping for from today? I really don't know win or lose what it means for Cov... I can't make my mind up which would help SISU move on quicker... I suppose I'd prefer the council not to get dumped with a huge bill, but in terms of looking at the best outcome for Cov I don't know where this leads?
They won't need a defence if the judge agrees.What outcome will folk realistically be hoping for from today? I really don't know win or lose what it means for Cov...

I just want an outcome where the legal process comes to an end. But I can't see it happening whatever happens here. If SISU don't get the right to JR2 they will appeal. If they lose JR2 they will appeal. If CCC lose JR2 they will appeal.What outcome will folk realistically be hoping for from today? I really don't know win or lose what it means for Cov...

They are in court to see if they can do it for real. They could get this hearing whatever.Why are they even in court if it is too late though? Surely if they have a cut off date they don't all go there today and it's rejected straight off.

I would have expected that, but I am pretty ignorant of the whole process... Could this be surrounding the changes possibly? Is the claim that SISU lodged a vague JR then built a case over 2-3 years?Yes but surely if the date has passed and it had been too long they wouldn't even allow today?
Maybe that was why they wanted to change what they were after once in court?Yes but surely if the date has passed and it had been too long they wouldn't even allow today?
They will appeal with Fisher most probably saying that the judge doesn't know the law or what he is doing.If this judge throws the sisu claim out I can't see where else sisu can go on JR2, wether that brings about the end of sisu here not sure Sepalla will play hard ball initially but I suspect Hoffman and friends will rekindle their interest soon
SISU scored a goal but CCC are after the game being abandoned.Have we scored yet?
Are we creating chances at least?
it's not a "statute of limitations" argument just that if SISU were serious should have started proceedings/appeals etc. at each earliest possible opportunity rather than waiting until last possible moment on several occasions.Yes but surely if the date has passed and it had been too long they wouldn't even allow today?
She could do with an awful Photoshop now would do her justice.It was the awful photoshop rather than the witch!
Who are more unpopular, Lawyers or Investment Bankers?
The two sets of Lawyers are fighting each other in court but you know behind the scenes they'll be knocking back champers together
Rival bidders? Was there anyone else willing to move their club 100 miles?
And I remember those who said nobody would be interested in the Ricoh. SISU thought exactly the same.
My Prediction
2:1
Tim Fisher to win it with a 90th minute header out of nowhere.
