Moreover any judgment will be reserved. They won’t be making any decisions during the hearing.
On that point would that mean that till such time as all the evidence has been put forward there wouldn’t even be a ruling re if matters were time barred?

My reading of the CAS hearing was that they very much determined matters re time prior to fully exploring the charges that were too old.

I'm no solicitor but i would think the first thing to do would be to decide which of the allegations, if any, are time barred to save time unnecesarily deliberating them.

To do that they still have to hear the whole case around the charges and work out if any fraud or concealment has taken place (cooking the books) or whether the premier league already knew about the details (like Fordham). If they can't prove that then statue of limitations apply. I seriously doubt they can prove any fraud happened because most likely it didn't. Why would the Execs at city and multiple other well respected businesses commit fraud when there was no need to.

I think all the evidence has to heard in order to determine whether there's been fraud and concealment i.e. if there is an exception to the general 6-year limitation period.

Not at all. They heard the evidence on Etisalat. They won’t be confirming any decision during the hearing
 
I don’t agree. They’ll make their minds up as the evidence plays out.
You need to separate the impressions and conclusions of the panel in their heads and between themselves from the decision and formal written conclusions. The decision will 100% be reserved (ie not handed down at the end of the hearing) and the panel will not want to give the impression they have made any decision until all of the evidence has been heard.

But of course, an impression and direction of travel will build through the hearing.
