To summarise 3 reasons Sports Direct lost in court today.
1. Dave King mentioned only existence of meeting with Ashley not content

2. No evidence was presented to show beyond a reasonable doubt King made statements attributed to him

3. King was not called as a witness so his testimony is his affadavit was not able to be challenged.

MA appears to be taking a serious beating, the bigots well ahead on points :(
So much for them saying that MA had a top legal team, seems they had the day off and sent in the mail boy.Quote:

Eh? £300K taken out of the New Huns' January budget. What's not to like?Quote:

Glib, shameless and an amnesiac then. :rolleyes:Quote:

There is information in the public domain about Rangers Retail that SD surely don't want out there. Why did they not go for that?
I do agree that putting someone in prison for acknowledging a meeting or just saying they want to renegotiate a contract is ludicrous.
I think the % split and ownership of brand names and security came out at the time the loan was made. How about the 7 yr termination clause? Who leaked that?
Ashley pays for today not rangersQuote:

Have to say the Judge was correct! Jail someone for nothing? Nah don't think so!! Also, was quite clear how King got his glib and shameless liar attributes: plays the game well, creates ambiguity and uses ignorance as a defence! Worked this time but in future .... the very very near future?
It's like two bald men fighting over a comb when these two claim the moral high ground.
Court called back into session to deal with press reports. Judge says he unhappy with Daily Record article, counsel agrees is "inaccurate"

Judge says he gives Daily Record "nil points" for accuracy of report

Judge says that just because he has dismissed commital does not mean he has 'acquitted' King

Judge says he would advise Mr King to say nothing to the press until he hands down his full judgment

Judge asks if the Daily Record has a reporter in court? Is told they do not.

I would imagine a decision re costs will also be made tomorrow. I'd also be surprised if MA just walks away from this & I can't imagine he'll be overly pleased with his counsel's performance!Quote:

I wonder if this means he has ruled out jail but may still fine him?Quote:
