EMILIANO SALA LEGAL CASE: THE LATEST

Trust Chair Keith Morgan attended an online meeting today with the Cardiff City FC lawyer dealing with the case. The meeting was also attended by various members of the media, both local and national.

This is Keith's report on that briefing.

The court hearing will take place in the Nantes Commercial Court at 5pm local time on Monday, December 8th with an estimated hearing time of 2 to 3 hours.

The hearing is open to the public so likely to be attended and reported on by the media.

A French judge will give an initial summary of the matter based on all the documents submitted by both sides which he has fully reviewed. Then there will be the chance for lawyers on both to present their verbal case as to why he should rule in their favour.

He has to consider two assertions. Firstly, liability. Is FC Nantes liable for the financial loss to Cardiff City FC caused by the actions of their agent Willie McKay and, secondly, what quantum of loss are they liable for the Cardiff City FC claim(It is for €120.2m)?

The judge is unlikely to finally give his formal verdict until early Spring 2026.

At least the end is in sight.

the whole thing from start to a finish in sight! is too tragic

If we get back the asking price, we'll be doing well. Can't see anyone awarding anything for what might have happened.
