The Premier League rules that govern care deals from the period between 2021 and 2024 are “invalid and implemented.”
Last year, an independent jury was found against the aspects of its associated party transactions regulations (APTS) after a lawsuit incited by Manchester City.
The Premier League says that the court ruling does not affect the “good process” of the appropriate rules, which it believes is still “valid and implemented” and remains in “full power.”
The rules have been formed by the Premier League to prevent clubs from taking advantage of commercial deals with companies associated with their owners who are considered “fair market value”.
In November, the Premier League voted with adjustments to the rules despite the opposition of Newcastle, Nutingham Forest and Aston Villa, as well as the city.
Friday's ruling is not in the ruling on November amendments, which are still in place, but a legal challenge.
The court concludes: “In the first partial final prize, it was announced that the APT rules and the amended APT rules were illegal in three aspects.
“There is now a decision to decide on a question whether these three respect from the remaining rules can be cut off so that the remaining rules are implemented.
“The three respect in which the APT rules and the amended APT rules cannot be cut off illegal, which leads to the fact that the rules of APT as a whole are void and not implemented.”
In a statement, the Premier League said: “This decision explicitly does not affect the correct operation of the new rules.
“The court has not succeeded in any results regarding the validity and effectiveness of the new rules. The court states that whether its decision has any benefit for the club, it depends on whether the appropriate new rules were found as part of the second challenge issued by the club last month.
“The league still believes that the new APT rules are valid, implemented and pressed a quick solution to this issue.
“The new APT rules are valid and clubs remain required to comply with all aspects of the system, including providing shareholders’ loans to the Premier League to evaluate fair market value. “
