Sisu Have No Grounds For Appeal - Bennett

Last updated : 22 January 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Lord Justice Bennett has said that SISU have no grounds to appeal against the Judicial Review verdict.

Coventry City's owners had wanted to appeal but according to a court order, Lord Justice Bennett said that  “I do not consider that there is a realistic prospect of demonstrating that the judge’s conclusion that the loan was not state aid was wrong.

“For the reasons given by the judge, they would not. I do not accept that this ground has a real prospect of appeal.

“Whilst the appellants suggest that there is a compelling reason for the state aid argument to be considered by the Court of Appeal in any event, I am un-persuaded."

Sisu have since said that they will be looking for an oral hearing.
