Holy Shit

Something is happening in Dallas, they're back in court there!
 
Re: LFC not yet sold to NESV (but we're getting there, maybe...)

The Texan Court injunction is binding on the board et al in the UK, until the injunction there is lifted by the Texan Court. The anti-suit injunction is not an order against the Texan Court itself. Instead, it is effectively an order compelling H&G to apply to the Texan Court to lift the injunction, on the basis that the Texan Court has no jurisdiction to determine this case. H&G therefore face a choice: either they lift the injunction or be in contempt of the English Court anti-suit injunction, the punishment for which can include imprisonment. H&G would most likely not want to return to the UK with contempt proceedings hanging over their heads.

So apparently if H&G don't put a stop to the process they started yesterday in Dallas, retracting the case by 4pm tomorrow they will be due to do some jail-time in the UK.

Re: LFC not yet sold to NESV (but we're getting there, maybe...)

Drum roll, it begins again...

The Hicks and Gillett court hearing in Dallas is now set for 7pm UK time, although Sky Sports News are reporting that it is underway and George Hicks, whoever he is, is in attendence. Rumours that Hicks was spotted in Texas singing the Warren Zevon song 'send lawyers, guns and money' haven't been confirmed.

Is it any wonder they can't agree on anything when legal disputes are even breaking out on this blog ...

My name is Henry Adams and I am an international litigator at a firm called Birketts LLP. I acted for one of the parties in a recent leading English anti-suit injunction case which went to Court of Appeal level. I'm also a Red but that's by the by.

The comments on your blog from Mark Stephens are unfortunately not quite right. Here is the position:

The Texan Court injunction is binding on the board et al in the UK, until the injunction there is lifted by the Texan Court. The anti-suit injunction is not an order against the Texan Court itself. Instead, it is effectively an order compelling H&G to apply to the Texan Court to lift the injunction, on the basis that the Texan Court has no jurisdiction to determine this case. H&G therefore face a choice: either they lift the injunction or be in contempt of the English Court anti-suit injunction, the punishment for which can include imprisonment. H&G would most likely not want to return to the UK with contempt proceedings hanging over their heads.

Hope that helps - fascinating scenario!

Henry

Apart from the apparent great news and the supeb lollage we have also seen the return of 3 great posters in Ian The Red, Themn and Ryan (not including livvy as he's always lurking). I suggest we keep this thread going until "Dave", Foureyes, Robinhood and Leftpeg reappear.

It could, but its unlikely unless LFC take out committal proceedings against Hicks and Gillette.

Will Liverpool's new Texan lawyers be able to make a Dallas court reconsider the injunction tonight? Do they need to?

Will Hicks and Gillett abide by Mr Justice Floyd's ruling?

Will NESV finally get to sign the papers and take over Liverpool Football Club?

Tune in tomorrow...

When did Ryan come back??

Maybe I'm mistaken, I thought he posted in this thread. Well even if he didn't he briefly appeared in GC while this thread was in full flow and I reckon that was down to the restorative powers of this thread.

H&G won't go to jail if they never step into the UK.



The real significance of this order is that no UK lawyer is going to knowingly assist a party to act in contempt of a UK court, which means that ~arguably~, they can't do anything to enforce the injunction either.

Yes but the sale wont go through cos RBS & NESV have to much interest in the states to risk being held in contempt there.

No one will ever read all of this thread again. There are so many gems in here that will be lost forever.

Someone need to sift through it to pick out the gems and store them in the vault titled "The day we got our club back".
