The Arbitration panel is entirely different. It is facilitated by the SFA but it is not the SFA that reach a decision on Hearts relegation, it's a panel of 3 independent legal eagles.

The two things are technically separate.
The question that the bride will not answer is, why when the arbitration panel is completely independent from the SFA they never went down that route in the first place?.
