[HappyasLarry]

Sorry TAM - who is the CAR and on what basis was he seeking damages?

 

[TwelveAngryMen]

Paul Cooper
He was the Court Appointed Receiver
Owen’s company were suing him for selling the club at an undervalue

Cheeky bastards

 

[Chunkylad]

They love giving money and time to courts and lawyers don’t they?

Nicely reducing that estate of his before it’s shared out amongst all the spawned parasites on his quick journey to Hades and eternal torture

 

[TwelveAngryMen]

The claim was lost a fair while ago
This is the end of the line appeal wise
Four years of costs to be paid - failed trial and failed appeals to both Court of Appeal and Supreme Court
Not got a handle on amount but you can imagine
Very pleased for Paul and his team
They did an impressive job in very trying circumstances and shouldn’t have had to put up with what followed
Like others involved ( inc the team at Clifford Chance ) he retains an interest in BFC
Messaged me to congratulate us on Sat’s result

Must be well into the mid six figures, or Burnleymoney as it's known.

Any latest news on the Penthouse situation?

Podcast tonight?

Do their lawyer’s get paid? Or is that further action?

What’s the old goat got left?
Just take it all.

 

[clappers]

The thought of Oystons advisors trousering his cash on such a fruitless endeavour all the way to the Supreme Court fills me with happiness. And the tax payer gets their money back in vigorously defending these proceedings.

What a weekend!

 

[Trimm-Trab]

Podcast tonight?

8pm

 

[TwelveAngryMen]

Do their lawyer’s get paid? Or is that further action?

There’s an order for costs
Will need to be assessed unless agreed

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

At least he is on a good losing streak .

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

Is Owing a SKIer "Spending Kids Inheritence"

 

[TwelveAngryMen]

Any latest news on the Penthouse situation?

Not sure
Hard to unravel the leases they granted themselves of the penthouse and offices I imagine

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

What is the situation with poor Karl for unfair dismissal from the club?

If only the splashed as much cash into buying players than Lawyers fees.

 

[clappers]

There’s an order for costs
Will need to be assessed unless agreed

Half of me would have quite liked him to have been granted the appeal and then be forced to pay his biggest ever legal bill having lost in the SC.

 

[clappers]

What is the situation with poor Karl for unfair dismissal?

The court said any reasonable person or company would have sacked the feckless barcode teethed Harry Potter styled kerhunt within five minutes anyway.

 

[tangerine_neil]

What is the situation with poor Karl for unfair dismissal from the club?

In a perfect world, they would both lose.

 

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

The courts must love Oyston coming to town, years and years of legal costs in failed actions and throwing money away to the legal system.
What an insane way to spend your final years on this planet.

 

[JOHNMAJORTOM]

Talking of lawyers. Heather Rogers KC. barrister who defended and prosecuted high profile media cases. only 64 my age almost. they aint all bad. died suddenly of a pulmonary embolism

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

The Parasites perfect record in the Courts continues...

Karma is indeed a beautiful thing.

It's at times like these I always think back to the Stain's peering down from the Boardroom at the protesting fans below.

A nice end to a great weekend.

 

[TangerineArmy]

Brilliant news and sums up that sad fecking family... what a way to live your life... not

So hope costs are huge!! Come on... triple them and add more.

Great end to a brilliant weekend

 

[Lytham_fy8]

I've never heard of these people, are they local business owners?

 

[South Stand '58]

There’s an order for costs
Will need to be assessed unless agreed

Can't see Owen agreeing the costs so can see a Taxing Master getting involved

 

[MartonBornandBred]

Oyston will be 90 on 3 January.
88 years of supporting the Pool

 

[BFC4EVA]

Can't see Owen agreeing the costs so can see a Taxing Master getting involved

Hope interest is payable aswell on the past 4 years.

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Anyone know what is Karl doing for work these days?
Presumably he is still married and living out in the sticks.

 

[TwelveAngryMen]

Hope interest is payable aswell on the past 4 years.

Yep Usually at 8% but it is in the the discretion of the court how much to award

I had a pulmonary embolism when I was 23 (1983) and knew nothing about it until I woke in the RPH having rat poison pumped into me ☠

Scary shit and I have managed to get to 63.

 

[Wizaard]

I've never heard of these people, are they local business owners?

I believe they had a failed ice cream parlour on Queen St at one time. Lack of patronage did for them.

 

[Chunkylad]

I heard it was lack of unbroken windows that was the final straw there

 

[Qblock]

What an insane way to spend your final years on this planet.

Although this is said in jest, I think he is insane. Without a critical voice to spare him more losses

 

[MartonBornandBred]

James Husband shares same birthday with Oyston. Husband will be 30 on 3 Jan and Oyston 90!

There's sour grapes & sour grapes but this lot must have a vineyard full of them.

“Do you accept woolley mammoth skeletons perchance, or a couple of designed dresses from house of Roma!”

 

[hertfordseasider]

I have always wondered that, I'm surprised they have ever got anyone to represent them.

 

[traffordtang]

I have always wondered that, I'm surprised they have ever got anyone to represent them.

I’d have thought lawyer to OO was a much sought after appointment. Must be extremely well paid if it’s pay per case. Not great for the reputation mind.

 

[clappers]

I believe they had a failed ice cream parlour on Queen St at one time. Lack of patronage did for them.

And a slight problem with the strong smell of dog piss on their planters

 

[Mark_GT]

Anyone know what is Karl doing for work these days?
Presumably he is still married and living out in the sticks.

He was listed the other day amongst a range of people I half know or have never heard of as a potential linked in connection
Tbf I'm surprised she allows him Internet.

 

[Foolweary]

It amazes me that they have chosen so often to go to court. They must have lost so many major cases over the years, their losses must be huge.

His refusal to accept reality is trump like. He just won't conclude that he is wrong on an issue or that's his actions make him loathed by normal people. I'd fully expect he has the same personality disorders as trump.

 

[Camberwell1]

Can't see Owen agreeing the costs so can see a Taxing Master getting involved

He won’t have a lot of say in it tbh - he’s had plenty of Court days and feels it’s like sweet shop money - the bill will be big

Be good to know the total Oyston losses x(estimates will do) from the day I spent at the Rolks Building - Day 1, until today

That ought to be in the public domain for a host of reasons


Btw 12Angry men - my brother borrowed my left foot to stroke the winner 3-2 against B/oool Walkibg team today - wished I had seen it at Kirkham

 

[todayistheday]

Not sure

Is this legal, drawing unrealistic leases, have the clubs legals made a major major balls up regarding this ?
Why delete the last one, have the club got a moderator on board. I'm asking a question to a legal expert in property not a half wit mod.

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

There’s an order for costs
Will need to be assessed unless agreed

It’s always intrigued me as rumours abound about local service providers rarely getting paid.

 

[bfcpete]

Everyone has to have a purpose in life and O's remaining one (and lifetime one) seems to be charitable donations to the legal profession for lost causes. He perhaps got a taste for it due to his brief appearance in ITV's Crown Court in the 1970s. Unfortunately, he didn't manage the calibre and quality of Perry Mason and redundancies in the legal profession are expected with his eventual demise

 

[Curryman]

I believe they had a failed ice cream parlour on Queen St at one time. Lack of patronage did for them.

I believe the failure was due to a creepy old chap with crooked glasses and a hat trying to sell 69's instead of 99's.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

If Oyston couldn't beat my mate 'Steed' who had no legal defence, the odds are always stacked against him.

Obviously others were affected and paid out which still remains an injustice.
