Manchester City‘s lawyers have arrived at the International Dispute Resolution Centre (IDRC) for the second day of their high-profile hearing.
In a case that has been dubbed football’s ‘trial of the century’, City will dispute 115 charges of breaching the Premier League‘s financial rules.
The proceedings, which began on Monday, were shrouded in mystery as the location of the hearing remained unknown.
However, Mail Sport revealed the case would be heard at the IDRC, labelled as ‘one of the world’s leading global facilities at which to conduct arbitrations’.
City’s legal team, led by Lord Pannick KC, have since arrived at the IDRC for day two of the hearing.
