PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Netflix could have made a fortune filming this live as it happens, due to end late November to my calculations, that dosnt mean were going to know how its gone but we will have a good idea from the response of Pannik,Pep and Khaldoon, still think 100% its going our way and there is going to be a Wall St 1929 type meltdown from the journo's, its going to be a delight watching it all unfold
 
I'm not a barrister but i've been in courts and I preferred paper bundles. I found it easier to put my finger on things I wanted as I'm not good at multi tasking and arsing aroung with tech under pressure isn't easy I'm sure Pannick has lackeys who's job is to do all that at the click of his fingers though.
When your charging 5k an hour, checking and taking your time finding paperwork is essential.
 
It is a strange way to do it for such an educated an talented man.

As the bundle would be so thick as to be problematic and involve moving from page to page (quite often not in order).

It is probably worth noting any bundle will be being given to numerous parties, so the boxes may not be as big as they seem.

However, my opinion on this is probably the same as giving tactic to Pep, he’d probably smile politely whilst thinking what are you on about!
His junior will fetch the relevant folder file for him at the appropriate time, so it won’t all be in front of him (assuming that’s how he operates). Not sure how working in that way militates against his talent or education, though. That said, I understand why it may seem strange, but those barristers are a strange lot!
 
I seriously doubt Lord Pannick delivered an absolute KO on day one, despite my pleas to the deity. However as the IC is conducted in accordance with English Commercial Law, some or all of the 130 charges could fail as follows (bit dry, but accurate). Although based on a single charge/case, I believe strike out CAN happen to individual charges, eg hopefully Mancini/Fordham/Toure struck out due to being time barred.

Strike Out of the Claim/Charge

Under Civil Procedure Rule (CPR) 3.4, a court can strike out (dismiss) a claim if:
The statement of the case discloses no reasonable grounds for bringing the claim.The case is an abuse of the court’s process, for example, if it is frivolous or vexatious.
There has been a failure to comply with a court order or the procedural rules.
If a claim is struck out, it can result in the dismissal of the case entirely or of specific parts of it.

2. Summary Judgment

Under CPR 24, either party (usually the defendant) can apply for summary judgment if they believe that the other party has no real prospect of success in the case and there is no other compelling reason for the matter to proceed to trial. If the judge agrees, the claim may be dismissed.

btw I DONT CARE A RATS ARSE WHAT ANY OTHER FANS/MSM/CLUBS SAY OR THINK ABOUT ANY CHARGES BEING TIME BARRED

Checked this figure with a commercial silk the other day and he said it seemed high. About half that by his reckoning, which is around where I guessed it would be.

It could be right, there’s billions at stake tbf, but I think it’s likely to be lower than £5k an hour fwiw.

The CPR doesn’t apply to this hearing.
