The case is expected to heard later in the summer, it revolves around whether or not income from land around the harbour needs to be ring-fenced for harbour use, or can be used as part of general council funds.
Borough Council Director - Nick Edwards - says the authority has set money aside in case it's needed.

Nick Edwards says as part of the council's risk planning process the authority has had to look at the impact of potentially losing the case, along with the likelihood of that happening.
