    Wouldn't it be nice if Israelis voted for a government that wanted a viable 2 state solution?

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    I'm really not sure what justifies the disparaging tone. You've linked Wednesbury with "balance of probabilities". I'm arguing that if a decision was such that no reasonable person could have made it, then that can't be decided on a balance of probability because that would mean it was not...

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    This bit sounds odd. "... to prove (on the balance of probabilities) that particular decision by the PL was so unreasonable, that no properly minded [PL] board would have arrived at the same conclusion." If that's the test, the balance of probabilities doesn't come into it. But is it a fair...

    If that's an offence they should be hearing from Chrysler shareholders.

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    Sounds about right. I'd reinforce 4: City state that the rules are unlawful and therefore void so have to be re-done from scratch. (They're already discarded by the Tribunal ruling.)

    Stop this. Either spelling is OK.

    If Peter Brough could make a living as a ventriloquist on the radio, Richard Masters could run the Premier League. I'm not sure who the dummy would be.

    Yes Eth? Where shall we go on holiday, Ron? Dunno, Eth. Could we go to the Isle of Wight, Ron? Dunno, Eth. Do you think you'd like Shanklin, Ron? Dunno, Eth. I've never shankled. That's the only one I remember.

    The first question to Nielson in court should be "To what extent does your business model depend on giving your client the result it wants?"

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    "The Premier League has said that it is confident that it can amend the APT rules in order to make them comply with competition law." NB - there are currently no APT rules to amend. They are void (say City, and I agree with them!)

    The Conservative Party

    Are there any one-nation Tories left? I wanted Cleverly to win, as I just hate hearing the culture war nonsense. But culture wars will just reinforce the generational problem for the Tories, as young people are generally in favour of the changes in culture that they are warring against. See...

    Just for "light" relief, I remember an old cartoon with a very old couple at the grave of their son who died aged 70, with the father saying "I tellt tha we'd nivver rear the lad".

    City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

    I think it makes sense if you understand it as: “(i) that the APT Rules are unlawful on account of being in breach of sections 2 and 18 of the Competition Act 1998 because they exclude from their scope shareholder loans (the only reason they are in breach of the Act); (ii) that the Amended APT...

    Even if that were so, the PL has to get a majority vote for new Rules. (Do they need 14 votes?) I imagine a backroom conversation, whereby City say they will support new rules that suit them - in exchange for not seeking compensation for the damage caused to City by the PL's application of...

    It is my fervent hope that the Tribunal is just as offended, and says so - and adds exemplary damages to any compensation to City. "The primary intent of such damages is not to remunerate the injured party but rather to punish the defendant for their conduct and deter them, and others, from...
