A judge has dismissed 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.

Mr Justice Pepperall sitting at the High Court in Liverpool, said a hearing, scheduled for the end of the month, would go ahead, when lawyers for both the fans and football authorities would argue over whether the matter should be dealt with in UK or French courts.
