Two weeks today...... let the show commence

I would have thought they will severely restrict any members of the public under the Rule of 6 and social distancing guideloines. To be honest, I am surprised that someone hasn't requested a video hearing, but KOs spouse may have taken his laptop for being a naughty boy.
It would have been good if it had been broadcast live

Think they might be waiting to see what public interest there is Pete
 
A basic tenet of our judicial system is that it is done in the open, as part of justice being seen to be done. COVID shouldn't affect that, although numbers might be limited.
Thatโ€™s very true Wiz but you got to let them know how many they need to make room for.
 
In all seriousness, I think a high level of expressions of interest in attending will actually help the club's case.
 
Plenty of scope for โ€˜nuggetsโ€™ as the postponed non payment of wages hearing scheduled for a July will also be heard, as well as the unfair dismissal.
 
If you want to observe Koko's Komic Kapers you maybe able to virtually. (You may be spared the walk of shame this time Karl)
The Employment Tribunal service use a Cloud Video Platform which you can log into by invitation.
You will need e-mail the Employment Tribunal at:
manchesteret.listing@justice.gov.uk
to express an interest and presumably you will get a link justice before kick off.
There's a bit of information on the link below:
Book early to avoid disappointment.
 
Surely that facility is for those participating in the hearing, not the general public?
Bump and for Pete this is a hearing that would be open to the public in normal times.
In Covid world this is how the public can witness Karl's quest for justice.
 
If the paperwork is submitted in advance how the hell can it go on for 4 days next week and additional time on the unpaid wages claim the following week? Surely, there can't be that many witnesses, unless Owen is appearing for one last exaggerated fling in court? Or is it to do with KO's unusual pay, deduction and tax arrangements?
The employment tribunals I have been involved with haven't lasted more than a day to a day and a half, but more usually are settled in advance.
 
Pete. It's nothing to do with Owen anymore. The contractual arrangements were between Karl and BFC Ltd. The new owners of BFC Ltd inherited the issue.
From what little I know the answer to Karl's wages claim is a lemon. Karl still has an overdrawn director's loan account with BFC which is repayable. Any gains will be offset against what he owes.
I know even less about his claim for unfair dismissal but I suspect plenty of evidence will be offered to counter this. In fact if every witness was called the case could go on until the end of 2021.

Really, really could not give two shiny shites. Weird how some want to cling on to the 'good old days' when Oyston was the reason for the club doing so badly! Maybe now they've gone, we are being exposed as a club.
 
I recall at an earlier hearing a while ago that no-one had a copy of KO's contract because it had been taken away in a filing cabinet by another O company. The judge was due to send them an order to release it, because they hadn't responded to the club. The judge was concerned about getting further information on payments via a loan account and whether it was legal in terms of potentially avoiding tax and CSA payments. I also recall that the club was represented by both a QC and also an HR expert, Christine Green (Tony Green's wife)
 
Only 9 people allowed, I'm up first on Wednesday but have to go Tuesday just in case it's running ahead of schedule. Nervous but excited to see the end of koko being involved in our club so we never have to talk about him again.
 
If he has to be reinstated as chairman, we should ensure it's to clean the 'chairs' the fans sit on that are covered in bird shit and he has to clean it off.......

These things sometimes can be more interesting than it seems

A lot of the lads interested in this were put through the mill by the Oystons and those who were not support those that were.

Not weird at all.

Good luck with your day in Court.
I'm not sure how these virtual hearings are run or exactly what I'll get to see online.
I have a feeling though there won't be a video wall behind the Judge with a load of jeering Blackpool fans.
