CCC QC getting his turn for a grilling now. Can't say the judge isn't being fair.

Oh crap, we're back onto car parks...

@TheSimonGilbert: Judge says Sisu case "seems worse than that" as Sisu was only prepared to offer bank 4-5m for bank loan.

Didn't they reject the offer of was it £6m? £4m? from the council in the first place?

Edit: beaten by Council QC

TBF he posted more in the first few minutes of the Sisu case, I think it just gets more boring as it goes on.

If you change a few letters.

Council QC says Yorkshire Bank’s decision to offer a restructured £15.5m loan to ACL “kills the claimants’ case on state aid stone dead.”
Council QC says Sisu’s case is that the council should have accepted their offer on their terms.
Judge cuts in and says it was “worse than that” as Sisu was not prepared to pay more than £5m for the bank loan and it must be debatable they would have accepted that.
Council QC says it may have been a legitimate option to let ACL go into liquidation but it was right to look hard for other options first.
Council would get “significant return” through interest on the £14.4m loan.
Loan deal removed the impasse on rent negotiations says Council QC.

What's the judges point when he'c cut in there when he says "it's worse than that"?

Not getting that bit.

If you read his posts backwards he is either saying "I love sisu, acl are the devil" or is giving an excellent recipe for chicken soup.

perhaps he means worse than “kills the claimants’ case on state aid??????

shmmeee · Jun 11, 2014

This is so weird, it's like an average SBT thread in High Court...

I'm waiting for someone to make a terrible pun or call the judge an ACL plant.

torchomatic · Jun 11, 2014

Let's be honest sisu haven't said nothing in court that they haven't already been saying. At best they just confirmed the financial figures of the spin they've been spinning for longer than anyone cares to remember. So nothing much new to report, certainly no smoking gun that I can see.

The council on the other hand have been on a media black out for as long as anyone can remember. So what they've got to say in answer to the last umpteen months of sisu spin was always going to be more interesting. Was it not.

TBF, the Sisu QC summary was going over existing ground so not much new. We'll see how the day's summary looks ;-)
