The fact that this is going to go to an external court ruling is my worry. I don't think they'll give two ****s about makey-up votes & resolutions.
Yes but they are not makey up votes though. If that was the case then none of the leagues rules and regulations would matter and they could all be ignored or challenged in court. Hearts are not challenging the outcome of the vote, or they would be challenging the declaration of champions, trophies and European places. They simply don't want to accept relegation as part of the deal. They are trying to change the rules, ie. Division winners don't get promotion, and I don't see how a court can uphold that when it's clearly defined in the rule book.
