buster.

Some kind of reporting restrictions may have been put in place for any detail deemed to be covered by gagging order but there is a lot more that could have been covered. It may have served as a lead in to the injunction hearing.

I don't think they wanted DK given an opportunity to speak in the witness box.

Have to say that this judge certainly did his research regards the noise behind the bare facts, to the point of apparently being aware of what DK was saying to the press at what I presume was lunch. He seemed to already know what the real Ashely agenda was from the off and according to the tweets coming in, almost enjoyed goading and ridiculing the heavy and numerous SD legal team because he knew they had nothing substantial to offer. However DK is prone to sometimes say a lttle more than is required or today was perhaps a little hasty given how this judge would seem to operate. A good result today pending tomorrows full judgement,........ where I hope costs are addressed and in our favour. If they were it would be the best GIRFUY to Ashely because it would mean his objective of harming our cashflow would have failed.

Grant's twitter comes back to life Grant Russell ‏@STVGrant Dave King has been cleared on accusation of contempt. Whether he breached the "gagging order" is a matter which may come to trial in January

This gets confusing, I thought they had gone home. James Doleman ‏@jamesdoleman Judge says he would advise Mr King to say nothing to the press until he hands down his full judgment Judge says that just because he has dismissed commital does not mean he has 'acquitted' King -------------------------------- James Doleman ‏@jamesdoleman Court adjourns again until 10am tomorrow. ---------------------------------------------- Wee last minute sting in the tail.

I feel happy in a sort of we've just won a Cup quarter-final way. We live in strange times.........

Grant Russell ‏@STVGrant Sports Direct v Rangers International Football Club Plc back in this court at 10am tomorrow to receive full judgement and decision.

It's a bit pathetic tbh, I've seen better creativity on Play School

Grant Russell ‏@STVGrant King: "Unsurprising. Glad we had a strong judge who saw this matter for what it really is. It was a humiliating defeat for Mike Ashley." King: "I've never witnessed a strong judge really virtually tearing someone apart the way he did today." King: "It was an absolutely humiliating defeat for Mike Ashley. I'm delighted with the outcome." #LayitonThick

Slightly disconnected but it all helps. Article 'Sports Direct shares plunge as sales growth stalls' More than £500m wiped off retailer’s value as investor warns corporate governance concerns could drive shares down further http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/dec/10/sports-direct-share-price-falls-following-guardian-working-practices-revelations

Don't know how it works bud, although the judge made no mention of it (as per tweeters) when asking for and later mentioning quantums re.costs. #patience.... or someone on twitter could ask Grant Russell on this specifically or even as they say in Greenock, pacifically.

If that is all they can have a 'wee go' for then fine !

James Doleman ‏@jamesdoleman Judge was particularly scathing that counsel for Sports Direct brought no evidence to court proving King made the statements reported Now was that down to a heavy and numerous legal team making mistakes or that there wasn't any evidence of sufficent weight to make a contempt charge stick. Could you reasonably expect that heavy and numerous legal team to realise the flaw in their bid to jail DK ? And if so, why did they continue with action ? And if the client insisted in such an action, is it not more than reasonable to ask SD to pay all costs and perhaps even ask for damages ?

Grant Russell ‏@STVGrant Court will probably sit again at half 2 to briefly sort out future matter of injunction.

Brings home the real injustices nearer to the root of all this. #LaughingLastWouldBGood

On the face of it, you'd have thought there is 'room' for a counter attack with costs in mind. However, I don't know how these things work.

A man known for preperation and planning, the Judge has been in contact with several double glazing companies asking for quotes. ...

James Doleman ‏@jamesdoleman Judge "I really wonder what the point of all this was, £400, 000 gone" That money as you know Mr.Judge, was partly the point. Make SD pay costs !!

I'm hungry, Ian.....tell the judge to break for lunch.

John James is asked for a quote and if he is going to set up a website offering legal predictions or if he is to remain in comedy.

Grant Russell ‏@STVGrant Judge: King has pointed out correctly words attributed in article don't appear in interview. You have to persuade me journalist is accurate. Is that the journalist who couldn't pin down a bedridden and probably drugged up Charles Green ?

Still more pressure to come.

James Doleman ‏@jamesdoleman "you've made your bed and you have to lie in it" judge tells counsel for Sports Direct

Judge has done his homework and pretty much knows what is going on here. What he can do I don't know, nor what he will do but as it stands, odds on DK eating Turkey at home are extremely short.

I thought Ian was Mr. Ian Reuters ! ps. Both Ian and Grant are doing sterling work.
