Lawyer shares argument against second PSR charge

Everton: Lawyer shares how Toffees can argue case against second PSR charge

The drama between Everton and the Premier League continues to drag on

James Murray

Matt Stanbury has shared how Everton could look to challenge the second charge handed out to them for breaching the Premier League’s spending rules.

The lawyer tweeted on Monday (19 March) that he would be arguing that the “objectively harsh” punishment the Blues were given for the first charge reinforces why they shouldn’t receive a further penalty for the second charge.

But he added that the Premier League should be looking to appeal against the four-point deduction handed out to Nottingham Forest as it appears to be “unduly lenient” both generally and based on the league’s own case.

“Logically the PL should appeal, as the sanction [given to Nottingham Forest] appears to be unduly lenient both generally and based on the Premier League’s own case,” said Stanbury.

“As to Everton, I’d be arguing that the objectively harsh punishment for charge one reinforces why it should be nothing more for charge two. Best they can do.”

Lawyers for former President Trump are blasting New York Attorney General Letitia James’ “unconstitutional” attempt to block the GOP presumptive nominee’s appeal and force a property sale as the deadline for him to post hundreds of millions of dollars of bonds in the case looms.

Trump and his legal team have appealed and requested a stay on his $464 million civil fraud judgment. On Monday, his lawyers said that “ongoing diligent efforts have proven that a bond in the judgment’s full amount is a ‘practical impossibility,'” amid attempts to approach about 30 surety companies.

NY AG ASKS COURT TO IGNORE TRUMP CLAIM THAT POSTING $464M BOND IS ‘PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY’

The lawyers said the “enormous magnitude” of the bond requirement, which effectively requires cash reserves approaching $1 billion, is “unprecedented for a private company.”

James has pushed back, calling Trump’s request for a stay “extraordinary” and “improper.” James has said that Trump should be able to secure the entire value via multiple sureties or offers his real estate holdings as collateral.

But Trump attorney Clifford S. Robert on Thursday sent a letter to the Appellate Division of New York’s Supreme Court, arguing James’ efforts were “unconstitutional.”

“It would be completely illogical

Does Rose Hanbury Have a Case Over Stephen Colbert’s William Joke?

Rose Hanbury served talk show host Stephen Colbert with a legal notice over his joke about the rumors he had an affair with Prince William and could take further action to squash it.

“If you really go back and listen to what Stephen Colbert said, he was really just saying there are rumors and people are speculating no different than you and I are here,” attorney Neama Rahmaniwho is not affiliated with the case and doesn’t represent either party, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 20. “We’re just reporting what other people are speculating. We’re not saying that it’s absolutely true that Rose had an affair with William or putting out a definitive statement because of the nuanced nature of what Colbert said.”

According to Rahmani, Colbert, 59, didn’t state the rumors as fact, which wouldn’t make a “good defamation case” for Hanbury.

During a March episode of his Late Night With Stephen Colbert talk show, Colbert joked about the rumors that Hanbury, 40, had an affair with William, 41, while discussing the conspiracy theories surrounding Princess Kate Middleton. According to In TouchHanbury then served Colbert with a notice asking Late Night and other news organizations
