Nick De Marco extended his congratulations to the legal teams representing Everton and the Premier League for their involvement in what he described as an intriguing case. Via Twitter on April 10th, the esteemed legal professional urged fellow members of the legal community to delve into the comprehensive written explanations, following the recent decision by the commission to deduct two additional points from the Toffees.

Nonetheless, he commended his colleagues who participated in the hearing. De Marco expressed on social media: “Everton v The Premier League. Due to my own involvement in other cases, I cannot currently comment on this case other than to say well done to all of my colleagues for being involved in such an interesting case, and anyone working in this space should obviously read the
