Why this petition matters

Started by Adam Boddington

On behalf of all Derby County fans I ask that the ongoing situation at Derby County FC is looked at by the current Sports Minister. Despite the law of England and Wales prohibiting claims being made against  companies in administration both Middlesborough and Wycombe Wanderers appear not to be applying the law of the land in Arbitration.

In an administration, a statutory moratorium automatically arises under IA 1986, Sch B1, para 43, which provides that no legal process or proceedings may be commenced, or continued with, against the company in administration or it's property without either the administator's consent or the permission of the court.

The outstanding compensation claims appear to go against this law.

This is acting as a barrier to the club's future being secured and the culture and heritage of our great city being preserved. 

We have been deducted 21 points already. All we ask is to be treated fairly and allowed to move forward from this aswful mess.
