Pretty much agree here.

 

If I have serviced and used my car in accordance with manufacturer's guidelines, taking it to the main dealer for services and repairs, and the brakes fail, then I would have a case against the car manufacturer. Unless the manufacturer had had a recall to which I had failed to respond, or I had been irresponsible in driving the vehicle, the liability could not possibly lie with me. So it could be for this case. 

 

They won't get that amount of money, but could get a significantly payout to avoid the helicopter builder incurring negative publicity through a messy court case.

 

In terms of who's suing, it's interesting that it's the family rather than King Power because the club's ownership has passed from King Power to Top himself. Surely a successful settlement in favour of the family could more easily be invested in the club if it effectively went, at least in part, to Top himself instead of the King Power group? 

The only investment he can make (apart from what they already do within psr) is for infrastructure.  And I believe the club would borrow that without any negative impact on psr.

this Is a claim by the family against the helicopter manufacturer (not by king power) 

How is it linked to Leicester city football club as a business? Also,  King power is not Lcfc.

 

its nothing to do with club.  
If the club had taken out a keyman life insurance policy against vichai then they would be able to claim on that and that would be money that would stay inside the club.  but that would have been paid out many years ago. (And there’s no indication that such a policy existed - plus flying in helicopters is often not permitted in such a policy) 

I understand what you are saying Though maybe the Club should also be taking a case for the way it has effected our growth.

 

We were a top 6 Club then  look wehrewe are now. Vichai wouldn't have alowed that to happen to us. Can wenot claim for damage to the Club and loss of earnings as aresult of the Crash.

 

Some of the Lawyers on here might know.

We were mid table under puel at the time. 

Could be argued that we became a top six club after his death - 

we have no case against leonardo 

 

we could bring a case for damages ref the costs incurred around the crash site. Could you see that happening ??   Nah me neither

Ah well,  It was  just wishful thinking.  I'm sure any settlement will benifit the Club in some way.
