TannochsideBear 355 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Today we were represented at Glasgow Sheriff Court in our small claims action against Dundee United, following their decision not to refund any part of the ticket price for the abandoned game last year.Only when our case was called did we, for the first time, see what defence Dundee United intended to carry out.Their lawyer asked for the case to be thrown out on 2 counts, one being that the case should have been made in Dundee and not Glasgow, and the other being a case of title, meaning that instead of the action being made against Dundee United Football Club, it should have been The Dundee United Football Company Limited.So there we have it, 2 technicalities is what their spokesman said was a “vigorous defence”. They did not want to argue that what they did was right, or legal, or fair. They wanted the sheriff to throw it out without any consideration of the facts of the case.Rightfully, their sneaky ploy was unsuccessful, and our request that the case be continued for 2 weeks to allow us time to consider their defence motion, was granted.Dundee United have shown utter contempt for football supporters all the way through this whole sorry episode, and sunk to new lows today in their attempt to wriggle out of the action with expensive lawyers and sneaky last minute motions.We now know what depths they will sink to in order to avoid the arguments made against them that what they did was wrong and in 2 weeks time we will be more than ready for them.For anyone interested, the next appearance in court is another preliminary hearing to hear the jurisdiction and title legal arguments on Friday 23 April at 2pm in Court 12 of Glasgow Sheriff Court.We were expecting today to be a mere formality to set a date for the full hearing, but United's sneaky underhand tactics tried to catch us out. Next time we will be more than ready for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Cheers for the update that's disgusting.I really hope they are hammered for this and their nature of defence sums them up.On a positive note if they are splitting hairs over whether it's Dundee or Glasgow you must have them worried.Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebooler 4,509 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 It might be worth calling a few newspapers with this latest incident, as Dundee Utd are obviously running scared here with tactics like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
