| Mr Justice Supperstone, sitting in London, said on Thursday that the ban would continue until resolution of the club’s application for a judicial review against HMRC. He directed that any material being retained by HMRC which is identified as attracting legal professional privilege must be returned to the club. He also directed that the legal action involving Newcastle, who have just secured promotion back to the Premier League, must return to court on 22 June.
