With comprehensive judgements in their favour during the stormy ownership battle since October, Liverpool remain confident they are on a solid legal footing.
A statement for the club said: "Last week a further hearing took place as part of the ongoing litigation following the successful sale of the Club in October 2010 to NESV (now Fenway Sports Group).
"We are delighted that Mr Justice Floyd has granted the applications requested by [former chairman] Sir Martin Broughton, RBS and NESV and that the anti-suit injunction prohibiting the former owners from commencing legal actions against these parties outside the EU has been upheld and clarified.
"Sir Martin, RBS and NESV continue to maintain that there is no basis to challenge the propriety or validity of any actions by them or any of those involved on their behalf in the sale of the club.
"They will continue to take all steps necessary to defend vigorously any litigation threatened or commenced by the club’s former owners."
Sir Martin, RBS, and NESV have won the right to have a court case seeking a declaration they acted honourably and to claim for damages against Hicks and Gillett.
