PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Is it normal, even permitted, etiquette for a KC to respond to a random member of the public regarding the status of a case?

The core professional duties expected of barristers.

Contrary to Core Duty 2, 3, 5 and 6 for sure and possibly 1 and 10 too.

I don’t believe the email was from our KC. Why was it addressed “to you” instead of an email address

Professional courtesy perhaps given Paladin’s line of work.

Thanks for that, Columbo.

Thanks for that, Columbo.

Why was it addressed “To You” and not an email address?

 

[bluemonkey71]

It was a real reply, screen captured and unedited.

Oh right, I thought you were on a fishing expedition to land a net full of gullible people.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Why was it addressed “To You” and not an email address?

Because it’s not from Lord Pannick KC would be my guess.

That’s just what it says when you get an email on Outlook.

It’s a mystery, wrapped in an enigma…

No chance a lawyer would lie in an email. He didn’t even have to reply. Very frustrating for fans though.

:) It only says what it says. And it doesn't necessarily say what people are thinking it's saying. Lawyers are experts in saying things in a way that sounds convincing and that can eventually be "proven" to be right, whatever happens.

I'll take the poster's word it's a real reply. It's bizarre, though - the fact he replied, not the content. I have my doubts, though. Whenever he replies to my emails, he calls himself Dave ....

I'd prefer if he called himself Don't. Especially as my initials are KC.

 

[bluemonkey71]

Right, so not this interntional break. Next one it is then (Because they would never just release it, they have to wait for internationals for some wierd reason)

I've missed that. Where is that confirmed?

Not on mine :-)

 

[cheekybids]

That's his chambers phone number which is widely available anyway

I know mate

I dunno, but it seems to be a consensus on here that they would sit on the results until an international break.

There's no guarantee of this. The panel themselves will release a decision to the parties (so, not publicly) as soon as it's ready, I think. Basically, the longer the wait, the less there is an argument that the decision should be released at an opportune time (because this becomes more and more outweighed by the need to deliver a decision so that the process can move forward). And now that we've been waiting a while, I think it'll just be released as soon as it's ready.

The club and the PL might then cooperate on timing the release to coincide with a break in the football calendar, although I'm not convinced of this now. For a start, if the club have been substantially cleared, why wouldn't they want that out there ASAP? And anyway, once the parties have the verdict, it'll leak, one way or another. The parties hate each other so it's not clear that there'll be much desire to cooperate here in agreeing a delay to the release, it seems to me.

Not listen here sonny, "my gift to you is this, the knowledge that for once you've heard the news first hand and won't have to go scurrying around for it"

 

[foggy1974]

What are everyone's confidence levels? Mine have decreased recently to be honest. Need to some more lovely soft signals.

Why ?

What has changed

 

[Paladin]

It makes you wonder if Pannick has been sitting in his chambers reading this thread and thinking “if someone bothered to email me I could tell them we haven’t had a verdict yet”

Or maybe Paladin is Pannick. Nothing would surprise me anymore.

It's not a wind up. It is genuine. And for all the doubters, I am happy to send the email chain of two emails to someone for verification if required.

Anyone familiar with Outlook on Android / Samsung phones will recognise the shortening of the full email address to "You" when viewing incoming emails like this.
