Well if that's the case can't someone tell Hicks that the thing to do is go to Iran and get the Iranian court to issue an injunction. Just tell him it'll be cheap and off he'll pop.

Result !!! Never to be seen again !! :buttrock

..The High Court has ruled in favour of Liverpool against the temporary injunction gained by owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett on Wednesday.

The decision was granted by Justice Christopher Floyd, who issued an order on Thursday against the temporary injunction gained by Hicks and Gillet on Wednesday evening in Dallas, Texas.

The ruling now gives the green light for New England Sports Ventures (NESV) to push ahead with their £300million purchase of Liverpool - which was voted through on Wednesday night after Justice Floyd had earlier dismissed Hicks and Gillett's attempts to stop the sale at the High Court.

Hicks and Gillet's injunction in America was seen as their last bid to prevent the sale against their will, as they argued the club's board - led by chairman Martin Broughton - did not have the legal right to do so.

But the High Court have now again ruled in favour of Liverpool, NESV and the club's main financiers the Royal Bank of Scotland.

David Chivers QC, who told the judge that his clients, NESV, already considered themselves the new owners of Liverpool, asked the judge for a speedy serving of his orders on Hicks and Gillett so the deal with NESV can be completed and money transferred from the US.

"We are the owners (of Liverpool)," Chivers told the High Court.

"The owners from beyond the grave are seeking to exercise with their dead hand a continuing grip on this company."

Justice Floyd has given Hicks and Gillett until 4pm on Friday to comply with the order.

He also underlined his criticism of the American pair, he said their decision to get an injunction was one of: "Unconscionable conduct on the part of Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett.

"This case has no real connection to Texas," he added.

Based on what has happened in London, a new hearing of the Hicks-Gillett injunction case is currently taking place in Dallas.

An official for the 160th Civil District Court in Dallas, which issued a temporary restraining order in the matter on Wednesday, said the judge would be holding a new hearing with legal representative from both sides.
