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

[Vic]

Thanks Vic but it says….

“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 and for no other reason;”

That says to me that if the shareholder loans area is corrected then it becomes lawful as they state that is the only reason?

I'm having a go at answering the question, "Why do City say the Rules are void?"

Because that's what the law says. If the Rules are unlawful (for whatever reason) they are prohibited rules and any agreement, or decision of an association, including the prohibited Rules is thus void. [Competition Act 1988, s.2(4)]

I am now only a 100 pages behind - more seem to get added faster than I can read.

I have spotted a trend emerging though - that more and more people are getting on @slbsn case.

Fucking hell there is no winning for the fella;-)

By time I get up to 1300 I am fully expecting discussions about Stefan as if it was a matchday thread - perhaps a few - FFS Stefan posts thrown in

I think there a only a few but they have been vocal.

Well my list of people who I’d never invite to an orgy is getting longer.
Who’d of thought there could be as many soulless, joyless people on one, originally celebratory thread! Haha!

It's halfcenturyup, not up halfcentury :D

And that was 17 years ago. Jesus, where does the time go. Having 12 year old twin girls may explain some of it .... What was I thinking?

Never mind, just start saving up for the marriages and ensure they have a "double" wedding to keep the costs down. ;)

Void or void ab initio? City appear to be suggesting it is the latter but the tribunal needs to rule
on this point.

Void in English law means never existed. https://www.vocabulaw.co.uk/terms/void/

Our very own @johnny crossan recorded this for posterity in a video on his Youtube channel called "Hate Fuelled Envy". Think it might have been copyrighted or something as I can't find it now.

Rob Beasley and Paul Smith. Every week there was a hate section about City from whichever guests were on.

He can’t resign until after the 115 case. To do so would completely undermine the PL’s position midway through the hearing.

But my strong suspicion is an exit plan will already be in place.

CEO of the Post Office is vacant next year.

 

[Whether or not]

One lesson for us going forward is that if Masters and his cartel conspirators suggest another binding arbitration process instead of formal legal proceedings, we tell them to shove it. There is little point in an arbitration procedure if the losers misrepresent the result and fail to act in accordance with it.

I'll be dead before then :)

I'm surprised, and somewhat relieved, though, that no one has said "Pics, you know the rules".

Good advice, I never listen to talk shite.

Couldn’t pay me to listen to that shite.
