In light of Everton breaching the Premier League's Profitability & Sustainability Rules, Burnley are looking for £50million-plus in compensation after claiming loss of revenue as a result of their relegation to the Championship.
The hearing starts this week at the International Dispute Resolution Centre in London, 2 years after Everton were controversially handed successive points deductions for breaches of PSR for in 3-year rolling periods ending in 2021-22 and 2022-23.
Burnley were relegated from the Premier League in 2021-22 when they finished just 4 points behind Everton in 18th place. Had Everton's 6-point deduction occurred during the 2021-22 campaign, Burnley would have been safe with the Toffees relegated in their stead.

Daily Mail reporting Burnley in court, demanding £50M to £60M in compensation for their relegation a few seasons ago.
Any one got any more on this and how likely Burnley are to win the case? Being heard behind closed doors — why?

Unless nipped in the bud this case could open a huge can of worms, with clubs lining up to sue Manchester City and Chelsea for breaching the rules.
Haven't we been punished more than enough by the unprecedented points deductions and the unfair treatment of valid mitigations?
Jack, it's probably constituted as a hearing under the Premier League's rules and these are always held in private because 'sensitive' commercial interests and business matters are involved.
