Belle Vue believed the rules allowed them a replacement a lawyer proved it.

010.3.1 Cut Off Date No team changes will be allowed after 28th August with the effective date being 31st August. Except riders returning to the team after injury who must re-take their position, dictated by their MA, with their replacement being released. The BSPA Directors monitor all proposed moves and have the sole responsibility to approve all re-declared teams, having been satisfied they are in the best interests of the sport. 

Where does this imply that Belle Vue are allowed to make a team change

You seem to have forgotten the rulebook is on the SCB website and anyone read it.  The rulebook can be ambiguous - in this case I wouldn't say it was.  The cut-off deadline is quite clear, while any reference to long-term injuries as in regards to how many times you can make changes within the transfer window. 

Belle Vue Speedway are a credit to the sport, while Robert Lambert is a terrific rider, but there's a rulebook to be followed. This is the equivalent of Man City signing Messi just for the Champions League final and makes speedway look stupid.

And all promotions would've sat at the AGM and agreed that this is what was meant by by the regulation and signed it off including Belle Vue

The fact that some lawyer has perhaps found a loophole in how it is drafted doesn't change the intention

The other factor could be cost - had the BSPL contested how many thousands more would've been drained from the sport given Belle Vues decision to "go legal"

Perhaps the monetary cost even to be successful in defending the decision just couldn't be justified

Shame on Belle Vue (and may every plague on biblical proportions befall you ;):P)

I suspect it was more likely that a lawyer proved that the rules couldn't be proven to disallow them a replacement rather than proving they allowed them one.

Probably, but adds up to the same thing

How delusional, hiring a lawyer to win a league with no value

Worst post ever, if it's got no value why the hell you here commenting on it.

Whose lawyer was it? Discovery Sports Events?!

At least when Poole brought Greg Hancock in in 2013 it was early August before the cut-off!!

Thing is. Belle Vue not broke any rules. A good lawyer proved that this weekend

I am unaware of any legal judgement to that effect. BV simply threatened legal action and the BSPL caved in. That said it shouldn't be difficult for a decent lawyer to run rings round the BSPL even when they are on solid ground (as I believe they are in this case).
