Jordan and Vodafone (Part II)

Jordan issued a press statement late on Friday afternoon to say that it had withdrawn its legal claim against Vodafone.

"We realize that for the good of the sport it is in everyone's interest to draw a line under this episode and concentrate on the rest of this season and the years ahead," said Eddie Jordan.

This is all well and good but it seems that the judgement may already have been made and Jordan is now withdrawing to avoid the embarrassment of what the judge had to say. We have heard suggestions that the judgement may still come out and that this could happen on Monday afternoon.

At the moment the legal issues are not clear and so we will have to wait and see what happens next.
