I believe it was the judge that adjourned the case to give both sides an opportunity to agree a settlement, Sale all along have said they have done nothing wrong and owe Cas nothing so the judge must think otherwise.
Sale have been remarkably quiet these last few months.
rumours both sides (lawyers)were to meet for the last time over a week ago heard nothing since, maybe they are close to an agreement maybe they are miles apart and are now awaiting for a court date, I would expect some kind of announcement soon.
