When we finally get to a judgement the Sala family lawyers will likely take their own action if the court takes the view that he was still Nantes' employee and they were negligent in their dealings with him, even if the financial end of Cardiff City's claim fails.
It has already been established in a separate case that Sala was City’s player at the time of his death. That is irrelevant in what is going on now. If Nantes and Mckay are found to have arranged the flight (which was illegal) and bearing in mind McKay was not a licensed agent in France at the time, then they were negligent and would be liable for City’s losses.
