Stag Nation Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 They really are grasping at straws to claim the order for discovery of documents as a victory. The arbitration panel have the power to order disclosure, so they could have had that without the six-figure legal bill they're now facing ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just re-read the quote, Clark was essentially saying that Hearts/Partick were correct in allowing the reconstruction process to come to its conclusion before petitioning the CoS. I had misread the quote, thinking it meant Clark had stated that reconstruction was still an option & that Hearts were trying to play silly buggers in their statement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 5 minutes ago, Aim Here said: For the petition put before the Court of Session, Hearts and Thistle didn't ask for a revote - they asked for the relegation to be overturned or, alternatively, ten bajillion dollars. I don't know whether they will, or have to, put the same thing before the arbitrators, but I don't expect they'll be asking for a revote there, either. Aye, but you can't surely go to an arbiter with your own wishlist - there must be some basis to it - ie in this case the SPFL vote. Would an arbitration panel sit for instance, if Dundee decided they should be awarded £20m and the league title? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the nominated panel would no doubt have ordered recovery of documents anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the football club version of Charlie Zelenoff. If they land 1 punch they claim a victory, whilst ignoring the tons of batterings they've received. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What documents are actually relevant? They claiming that for some reason finishing bottom of the league should not mean they get relegated. Unless there is a document saying that ending the league early would not lead to religation then nothing else really matters regardless of how cocked up the SPFL managed the vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would an arbitration panel sit for instance, if Dundee decided they should be awarded £20m and the league title? To begin with, someone could look at the petition of Dundee and see whether or not it even makes sense as a point of law; part of that was what went on today. Dundee United alleged that the judge could bin the petition because it failed purely as a legal document, even if all the facts of the case were lined up in Hearts/Thistle's favour. Turns out that wasn't the case, as per the ruling. There are legal methods of just dumping really bad lawsuits in the bin fairly quickly (by legal standards; it may take a while as the lawyers do need some billable hours to invoice folks for). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine you'll get one. Anything remotely approaching a downward arrow is probably also now a trigger for most Hearts' fans now too, which is nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't get the 3 referees to agree then it gets thrown out by compliance officer, two match ban and not allowed to play until October. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
