PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[slbsn]

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.

Not at all. They heard the evidence on Etisalat. They won’t be confirming any decision during the hearing

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.

It won’t work that way. The SOL decisions require all evidence to be heard

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.

Thanks for the clarification. No wonder the legal bills are racking up

There’s a distinction between the decision that the panel members will individually arrive at in their heads and the joint determination and reasons, which will unquestionably be reserved, but I’d be amazed if they didn’t all know their individual definitive positions at the conclusion of the case, and most likely considerably in advance of that.

I'll happily join you in that :)

Stupid to be arguing over the details when we both agree pretty much on what the outcome is going to be. Apologies to those on the forum who are bored with it.

Jesus. Can you two stop arguing? It's making me crazy :)

They won’t want to give any impression but they’ll definitely have made their minds up.
