Nottingham Forest's appeal against their Premier League points deduction will be heard on Wednesday.
Nottingham Forest's appeal against their four-point punishment for breaching profit and sustainability rules will be heard on Wednesday, 24 April.
It will be heard by an independent commission with the decision having a huge impact on the relegation battle. Everton were hit with a 10-point deduction in November, reduced to six on appeal, before a two-point penalty was issued this month for a second breach,Forest were set to be issued with a six-point deduction - three points for the initial breach and a further three for the size of the breach - but their "early plea" and "co-operation" meant that was reduced to four points.
The league's rules state any appeals process should "conclude no later than and if possible some time before 24 May" - five days after the season finishes, but Forest will now have an outcome before then.
