A message from Trust Chair Keith Morgan about the latest legal action against football agent, Willie McKay.
You will recall that last month I wrote to you after legal action that the legal action by Cardiff City against McKay over the recovery of documents related to the transfer of Emiliano Sala from FC Nantes had been settled.
Legal action in Cardiff was taken by the club’s lawyers this week against McKay for the further disclosure of documents while a contempt of court hearing is set for April 10.
Meanwhile, the club’s legal case against Nantes was the subject of a preliminary hearing in the French city. It was to hear what both sides intend offering up as evidence in the multi-million pound compensation claim by Cardiff City.
Reliable sources tell me that a full case hearing is not expected for several months so the saga will drag up for some time yet unless the case is settled out of court.
As mentioned previously the hearing will be in a civil court before business people rather than legal judges so that the“ balance of probability” argument is a more relevant factor than might otherwise be the case.
I will brief members further when I have more information to report.
