The wife of ex-Leeds United director Melvyn Levi has had a claim for harassment against former club chairman Ken Bates upheld on appeal.
Carole Levi’s case - dismissed during a county court hearing in 2012 - was upheld by three judges at the Court of Appeal in London on Wednesday.
Her claim against Mr Bates related to comments published in Leeds’ matchday programme during the 83-year-old’s time as chairman and to broadcasts made on the now defunct Yorkshire Radio.
Here's the best bit
Mr Levi - a Leeds director between 2004 and 2005 - told the YEP that he was now considering bringing a similar claim against Shaun Harvey, the current Football League chief executive and United’s CEO at the time of the incidents leading to the harassment case between Mr Bates and the Levis.
Mr Levi said: “I’ll be going into discussions with my lawyers to decide whether there is any merit in pursuing Shaun Harvey."

We may go on about MC. But what sort of working environment must it have been with all these characters involved with our club....And is it any wonder as to why it's a major task to mop up after them,they must have had creeky necks with looking behind themselves,and checking every crevice in the place for those with daggers.

Dear Mr. Levi, even if you decide it's not really worth pursuing a case against Sepp Harvey please just do it anyway for the entertainment value.
