Bailiffs visit Blackpool's Bloomfield Road
Valeri Belokon has begun legal enforcement against the Oystons by sending bailiffs to Blackpool’s Bloomfield Road stadium.
High Court judge tells Oyston to pay up now – or Latvian can take his pick
Two vans, four bailiffs and representatives from Belokon's lawyers Clifford Chance were situated outside the Blackpool Football Club Hotel, where Owen Oyston's offices are based.
His penthouse is also situated in the same area of the stadium as is Denwis Limited, an Oyston-owned company whose principal business activity is described as the ‘letting and operating of own or leased real estate'.
The bailiffs departed Bloomfield Road at around 1.45pm and headed towards Oyston-owned Quernmore Hall.
Owen Oyston was ordered to immediately pay up the £25m he still owes Belokon after missing January’s deadline to pay his second installment of £10m.
Vans parked outside Blackpool FC Hotel Justice Marcus Smith made it clear that should the money not be forthcoming, Oyston would face the consequences of enforcement action being taken to make him sell his assets. It is believed Oyston failed to meet a 5pm deadline last Friday and enforcement is now underway.
