Last updated : 02 April 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Paul Harris, a Trustee of the Alan Edward Higgs Charity said in court that he was given assurances that SISU would be told in advance about Coventry City Council's deal to buy out ACL’s debt.

Mr Harris told a court in Birmingham, according to the Coventry Teelgraph's Simon Gilbert: "I said if we are going to change the way we are looking at a potential deal we should be generally open about that.

“I received verbal confirmation of that at the board meeting on the 29th from Chris West, an ACL director.

“He told me Sisu had been informed. I can’t say whether they were. All I can say is I sought that confirmation and I was given that confirmation.

“I wanted the city council, who were in dialogue with Sisu and the trustees, to be very clear about what they were going to do as part of that restructure.

“I was given assurances of that and they were minuted assurances.”
