Court now going over details of how summons served on King
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Judge: Mr King was never evasive. You [SD] made a conscious decision not to serve him out of jurisdiction (in South Africa).

SD: Decision made not to serve King with the order personally at a meeting. Order was simply left at home address of other directors.

I think that John James' gobsh*tery guesswork has lulled people into thinking this was a slam dunk.
Counsel for SD asked why other officers of RIFC have not been summoned to court along with King?

Paraphrasing the judge: Effect is that if you establish a limited company is in the contempt... directors can be pursued.

SD: Did King act in a way which was breach of order? And in doing so was he doing so on behalf of Rangers?

Judge: You've got to persuade me he was in breach because he discussed the contents of certain discussions.

Judge: Start with the revelation of the discussions.

Emails show King asked Sports direct to join him in issuing a 'joint statement" over June meeting

Judge: Does Mike not communicate with the press sometimes? We don't know that Mike didn't leak it. Just that Justin Barnes is unaware of it.

Email from SD shown to court, denies ever communicating with "Phil Mcgivery"

Judge: I've still not seen the contents you say were discussed [in TV interview]. SD: I'm coming to that.

SD: There's an allegation by Mr King that we leaked it. No evidence. Judge: "Mike" hasn't disproved that.

SD counsel King alleged SD briefed the press about June meeting. "You have not denied it" judge says. "Not part of this case" he replies

Judge: Having difficulty with argument that mention of discussions breaches agreement. Yet to hear argument of content.

Judge: What's the cost of this exercise so far? It's nigh on £400,000 for both sides isn't it? Nods from King and co.
