"Separately, the "115 charges" case, which actually adds up to 130 different allegations against the club, involves City being accused of breaching a series of financial rules over a nine-year period as well as allegations of failing to cooperate with Premier League investigations up to 2021. A hearing by an independent commission concluded in December after almost three months of legal argument at London's International Dispute Resolution Centre."
""The reason Lord Pannick (the leading KC representing City) and assembled montage of Man City lawyers are claiming a victory to this is because they will think it is helpful to their wider claim that the tribunal have recognised that the Premier League is in a dominant market position in respect of its ability to exercise control and ultimately dominance over its member clubs,""
Two separate legal sagas are underway between Manchester City and the Premier League. APTs, introduced in December 2021, limit how much companies associated with clubs can feed money to them; Abu Dhabi-backed City challenged those rules and has now settled with the league. The "115 charges" label actually comprises 130 allegations accusing City of breaching financial rules over a nine-year period and failing to cooperate with Premier League investigations up to 2021. An independent commission heard the case in London over almost three months, and a three-person panel is expected to issue a verdict in the coming weeks. The APT settlement does not in theory change the 130-case proceedings, though formal acceptance of the rules could influence future appeals.
