Coventry City Council have issued a statement following the news that Coventry City's owner are continuing their legal action against them and Wasps.
Their statement reads: "We are extremely disappointed that Sisu-related companies have decided to seek permission to appeal to the Supreme Court, despite already having had their application refused at both the High Court and the Court of Appeal.
“Sisu has continually sought to re-open decisions taken by the Council more than four years ago but we believe we have a strong defence to all the claims and that the decisions the Council took on 7 October 2014 were entirely appropriate and lawful.
“Until the Supreme Court considers the application, we do not intend to make any further comment on the case.”
Wasps have issued the following statement via their CEO Nick Eastwood: “We have maintained and made clear for a considerable amount of time that we will not enter into discussions on a new agreement with Coventry City until any legal action ceases, and that remains our position.
“We understand that there may be possible implications, but we have been very clear throughout with the club and those related to it, and therefore they were fully aware of our position before taking this latest decision to continue their legal action.”
