Cash-strapped Portsmouth Football Club won their fight for survival in the High Court, which ruled in the favour of the club. HM Revenue & Customs was seeking an order blocking a proposed Company Voluntary Agreement (CVA) put together by the club's administrators to help it out of administration. HMRC argued the CVA was "unfair and seriously flawed" as it gave preference to football creditors, who were able to claim all what they were owed, while other creditors would receive much less.
