Cardiff City’s Legal Cases, Emiliano Sala: Trust Update

Trust chair Keith Morgan, who has talked to club executives, provides a short update on the three legal challenges facing Cardiff City.

“I have now had the opportunity to discuss and further investigate the three legal cases being brought against Cardiff City Football Club.

“All three cases are still being progressed at various stages, with Cardiff City remaining very confident that it will be successful in its defence of all three cases. It is highly likely that all three cases will not be finalised until 2022.

“TheĀ  FC Nantes case regarding Emiliano Sala has largely been delayed in reaching the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) hearing due to the fact that Nantes have requested no fewer than five adjournments of the hearing to date. It is also possible that CAS will not wish to hear the case until after the conclusion of the formal inquest into Emiliano Sala`s death which is not due until Spring next year. The other two cases involve Sam Hammam and Michael Isaac.”
