Rangers Administrators Court Case

[Keith_M]

just read that they're seeking ~£20 million in compensation for wrongful arrest and 'a violation of their human rights'.

The investigation seems to have been a total cock-up, but they're kind of overplaying the severity of what actually happened, surely.

Arresting them was a big mistake.They weren’t criminals-just useless.

Take it they use the Budge Formula in coming up with that figure...

Crown Office has not covered itself in glory in recent years.

The reputational damage for businessmen could be pretty severe, but also impossible to accurately compensate for. The £20m will be an Ann Budge figure.

I don’t think they are overplaying the damages. They lost a large contract due to their arrest. These guys are big earners and it has cost them a large amount of cash to pursue this.Their reputation was trashed and they would have had lean times thereafter. Although they pursued Police Scotland the Crown Prosecution Service were also complicit and it goes all the way up to Lord Mulholland who granted the arrest warrants.There was a determination to pin the blame on Duff and Phelps for Rangers* demise led by a DCI with leanings towards the club.
We all know PS didn’t have to look that far for the culprits.

Green and Ahmad will be knocking on the door looking for their share too.

It's a shambles, and a very expensive one at that. Once again our police and prosecution services are standing in full light with their dicks hanging out. Not a pretty sight.

Time for yet another independent enquiry? On top of the Salmond affair currently creeping its way through the parliamentary enquiry process, despite official resistance, it's not exactly been an annus mirabilis for our police and prosecution services and one might be tempted to ask what the **** is going on?

Incidentally, it's the Crown Office that performs the public prosecution duties in Scotland through the procurator fiscals, not the Crown Prosecution Service, which operates in England and Wales.
