An application by European football's governing body Uefa to adjourn a court hearing involving claims by 887 Liverpool fans involved in the chaos of the Paris 2022 Champions League final has been dismissed by a judge.
Mr Justice Pepperall, sitting at the High Court in Liverpool, said a hearing scheduled for 27 and 28 June would go ahead.
Lawyers for both the fans and football authorities are set to argue over whether the matter should be dealt with in UK or French courts.
'Serious problems'
Uefa said earlier this year it had reached a "full and final settlement" with supporters represented by two other law firms, who had made personal injury claims, before their claims got to court.
