Traf Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Civil case brought by a guy who already lost the legal battle. Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Oh dear I think McGill got a case, could be the end for PG. Quote
tyldesley_white Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Oh dear I think McGill got a case, could be the end for PG. He didn't have one before, he lost Quote
jules_darby Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 He didn't have one before, he lostHe lost But he still had a case  This isn't open and shut Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 He lost But he still had a case This isn't open and shut I agree and I think it's 50/50 which way this goes if I was having a bet I'd think some of the accused will be found guilty. Quote
Barnstoneworth White Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 He lost But he still had a case This isn't open and shut It could be brief? Quote
birch-chorley Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 My understanding is that McGill was proved right but as he had nothing in writing he was up shit creek Quote
Guest Blixa Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) McGill is going to end up bankrupt. Sounds a bit like a courtroom version of poker. You lose heavily or you win big. Edited January 16, 2015 by Blixa Quote
Rembrandt Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Less burden of proof in a civil case, isn't there ? Â Not good for the club whichever way u look at it. Quote
Rembrandt Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) double post. Edited January 17, 2015 by Rembrandt Quote
Traf Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Testifying in court really isn't his cup of tea. Somebody ought to give PG tips. Quote
RoadRunnerFan Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I think PG might need to offer more than a monkey as a bribe to get out of this one. Quote
Traf Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I think PG might need to offer more than a monkey as a bribe to get out of this one.  Sickened Quote
RoadRunnerFan Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Have a plus one Traf, a whole new angle on my intended pun! Quote
Casino Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 So if I've got this right the 'system' doesn't have any reason to suspect these blokes have perjured themselves, otherwise this would be a criminal case at crown? Quote
Carlos Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I can't work out what a private prosecution for perjury actually is, and indeed if this is even possible. Quote
Astley White Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 So if I've got this right the 'system' doesn't have any reason to suspect these blokes have perjured themselves, otherwise this would be a criminal case at crown? My understanding is this is a criminal case which is being heard at Newcastle Magistrates Court. It may then be committed to Crown Court if it goes any further than the first hearing. Quote
Casino Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 It isn't a criminal case It is a civil case brought by McGill Quote
Astley White Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Okay...as it's a private prosecution if there is a case to answer when Gartside and co. attend court, the Crown Prosecution Service could still take the case which could effectively make it a criminal case. Any lawyers on here will know? Quote
MickyD Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Perhaps he has new evidence that proves the perjury but the CPS has no desire to send it to court such is its frailty. Edited January 18, 2015 by MickyD Quote
