Secondly, the judge has crossed out "Taking any action in any other court to effect or impede this lawsuit".
I get the impression, a favour has been called, the judge has signed it but added his own caveats to protect himself, but as soon as the big wigs from RBS, Liverpool et al get to work, it will be soon overturned. I doubt the judge would have been aware of the court case yesterday, it wouldn't surprise me if Hicks or his lawyer forgot to mention it.
It wouldnt surprise me if Hicks hasnt traded on a fairly common view held by US lawyers that all other legal systems are inherently inferior to the US and that US citizens need protection from such systems. The idea of a Board selling a company without the permission of the owners is, on the face of it, irrational and if Hicks didnt mention or skirted over the issue of the governance letter the judge might not have taken too much convincing over the need for a TRO.
I agree that it seems likely that when the full facts are spelt out to the judge the TRO should be overturned. But you just wonder how many more tricks H&G have up their sleeves.

Might also have something to do with the politicised American justice system and Hicks owning the Texas Rangers in the past. Who knows what background deals have been done in the past?
If Mills have bought the shares, have they passed the fit and proper person test? Can they sell the shares without that being completed?

Quick scan of the table suggests you shouldn't be.
Errr, I don't think you should be pointing anybody in the direction of the league table
I am just baffled as to why we better watch out Sunday? Because of what went on in the court room we should now 'watch out' as your players have suddenly remembered how too play football

Maybe you should ask the person instead of posting it on here trying to be funny.
