SD arguing over an email from King acknowledging existence of order. Judge querying whether that extended to discussion of meetings.

Judge: Mr King said that on oath. Do I disbelieve him? You [SD] haven't proved to a criminal standard this extended to discussion of meeting

SD: Can hardly be clearer he sent an email acknowledging. Judge says King said on oath he didn't read injunction in detail.

Judge notes that email alone is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt although his affadavit may be "difficult to accept"

King statement read out: I did not review the injunction in detail at that time as James Blair had provided restriction in body of email.

Judge: The consequences of going to prison are quite severe for [King]. He could say goodbye going to US for forseeable future (for example)

Judge notes that King is a "successful businessman" and sending him to prison would have 'serious consequences'

Judge asks SD to prove King wilfully disregarded the order. Says SD should have asked for King to be cross-examined in court.

SD: One could hardly look for clearer evidence in him having admitted he received an important email headlined "URGENT: Draft order".

Judge questions why SD have not applied for King to give oral evidence as then he could have 'judged his statements for myself"

[Ozyhibby]

SD: There cannot be reasonable doubt he had knowledge of the order.

This judge sounds very incompetent.

So just because you are a successful businessman means your exempt form the law and court orders now?

[Ozyhibby]

SD: It is wholly implausible Mr King (didn't understand email). Judge retorts that it "amazes me" how people act in this regard these days.

SD: If he was saying I didn't get the email, that would be one thing. He isn't. He's not saying he wasn't aware of the order.

Sounds like the judge is leaning towards RIFC

[Ozyhibby]

Counsel for SD says they only have to show King's "knowledge of the order" not his "understanding of it"

Leaning? he is firmly sat on their side of the fence

I'm not so sure. I think he is just argumentative. We will see when Sevco lawyer gets up.

Someone I am aware who was successful businessman was sentenced o2 years in Perth precisely because he was successful. The evidence of 35,000 text messages on his phone relating to drug transactions was kind of damning

Or the law.

[Ozyhibby]

Seems to be a break just now. Kings defence that he did not bother to read the court judgement is pretty poor, even to my untrained legal mind.

Counsel for SD notes that each director of Rangers was sent a copy of court order.

This is the UK in the 21st Century. Of course if you are a "successful businessman" means you are above certain aspects of the law.

[Ozyhibby]

As mentioned previously, SD currently discussing the detail of how the notice of order was served. Copy to all Rangers directors.
