D&P blow their own argument to shreds in court

1179

The core essence of Duff and Phelps protests at the SFA judicial panel punishment handed out this week, as they state, is that: “in our opinion do the panel fail to have properly apportioned culpability between the Club and Craig Whyte”.

Yesterday we found out the truth about how Duff and Phelps really think about apportioning culpability between a company and a director.

The Lawyer magazine yesterday reported:

“The administrators are suing Collyer Bristow and Whyte’s takeover vehicle the Rangers FC Group for at least £25m in damages. The firm is accused of conspiracy, breach of undertaking, negligence and breach of trust, with Withey – who acted as the club’s company secretary – complicit in the allegations.”

The Lawyer goes on to say that Mark Phillips, QC, acting on behalf of Duff and Phelps, “told the court that there was no evidence anyone else at Collyer Bristow was involved, but that as Withey had authority to act for the firm, it was liable for the losses flowing from his “conspiracy”.

Get this clear; in the opinion of Duff and Phelps QC, as Withey had authority to act for Collyer Bristow, Collyer Bristow was liable.

Craig Whyte acted on behalf of Rangers after 6 May last year just as the old board acted on behalf of the club before then.  These people are using one argument to chase an enormous £25m but using the counter argument to subvert an SFA judicial panel.

The rules of the SFA are clear, Rangers are ‘liable’ for the actions of their directors, as anyone using this argument to pursue £25m should be well aware.  These people are shameless.

  9. The Honest Cover-up on

    Ally McCoist is a lovely guy.

     

    Until he gets a bit stressed at work and encourages a bunch of angry, violent right wing extremists to sent innocent people viable packages.

     

    Then he becomes a bloody nuisance.

     

    Shameful that some families will be sleeping in fear thanks to the cheeky chappy.

     

    True, they might have done it in any case. But by speaking of “fighting back” he knew exactly what he was doing. It’s not like Rangers fans sending bombs to people they don’t like is anything new.

  10. My offer of a beer to any CQNr who turns up to smashys charity race night on Friday is still on…….ye MUST be wearin yer CQN badge though……roll up, roll up

    During his playing days the only time sally acted the hardman was in late night take-away shops along with ian ‘kebab’ durrant and deek fergushun.

     

    A trio of plastic hardmen who gave my mates cousin a bit of a kicking one night in EK.

     

    3 against 1 was the numbers they prefered….real men.

     

    Worked with a guy from Dunfermline back in the late 90’s ( question of sport times for sally ) who had never heard the stories of sally the street fighting ned and honestly argued all Tims must like sally cos of QoS.

     

    I soon put him right.

     

    sally is a true blue in every sense…..total scum and a coward.

     

    I just hope his ex wife was ok when sally’s gardener was mowing his lawn.

  12. They have a cheek that mob they wanted Joe ORourke to resign for his comments, i look forward to hearing them ask fat Sally to resign now.

     

     

    Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha not a chance.

    If ETims rumour is correct I think it’s highly likely we won’t be seeing rangers for a few years. How many years were English teams banned from Europe? Was it 10, but lifted early for good behaviour?

     

     

    How many huns does it take to change a light bulb? None! You just get the MSM to tell them it’s working and they’ll happily sit in the dark. :)

    McMoist is like Wormtongue in Lord of the Rings. An insidious cowardly snivelling creep. An even more repulsive and less sympathetic character than Gollum.

    Wise words indeed.

     

     

    I probably have slightly more trust in our board members than you but my faith is intrinsic in the Celtic support and the belief that we will conduct ourselves with dignity as a direct result of our love for the club.
