[QUOTE="bigtee, post: 699912, member: 238440"] Well, it is the way the legal system works. There is a decision 'on the books' so to say --- which is that showing EPL football with a foreign card is illegal. That decision is being appealed. We will indeed have greater certainty when the appeal is decided. However, until the appeal is resolved the law stands as it was last interpreted or decided by the (lower) courts which have actually looked at it. In some instances a more superior court may even give an indication that an earlier decision of the lower court was wrong; if that happens the courts will continue to be bound by the previous 'wrong' decision unless the matter comes before a court of equal "ranking" which can then choose not to follow the earlier decision or a higher ranking court which can choose to overturn the decision of the lower court.
