The High Court in London will hear the case of the Royal Bank of Scotland vs Tom Hicks and others after 10.30am on Tuesday, 12th October.
The bank is to tell the court that Liverpool Football Club owners Hicks and George Gillett made undertakings earlier this year which allowed chairman Martin Broughton the power to control the club’s board.
The RBS will argue that Hicks cannot remove Managing Director Christian Purslow and Commercial Director Ian Ayre from the board and therefore a £300million sale of the club to New England Sports Ventures must go ahead.
The RBS hope to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, in order to regain the full £280million owed to them by the club’s parent company, Kop Holdings. It is against RBS’ interests to put Kop Holdings into administration.
There will be several cases heard in Court 16 before RBS vs Hicks tomorrow before Mr Justice Flloyd.
