Leeds United want their 15-point deduction to be adjudicated by the High Court rather than the Football Association, reports BBC Radio Leeds.
In August, Leeds lost an appeal over the points deduction for the start of the season after the club went into administration.
Since then Leeds have made two requests to the FA to set up an independent commission to review that decision.

CHANTS OF THE WEEK
"Who picked your team this week?" and "Stand up if you own Ebbsfleet."
Oxford United fans to the travelling Ebbsfleet fans on Saturday.
That could even lead to spectacular bids for the likes of Barcelona's South American pair Leo Messi and Ronaldinho, or Brazilian playmaker Kaka, of AC Milan, although nailing down such big names is another matter.
The first big target of the January transfer window will be Peter Crouch, a deal that would depend on whether or not his club, Liverpool, qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Robbie Keane believes it would be 'daft' to write off Tottenham's chances of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League this season.
Spurs have made a less than impressive start to the season and are currently languishing in 14th position in the Premier League after winning only two of their opening 13 games.

Real Sociedad are investigating coach Chris Coleman's late arrival at a press conference, amid reports that he was seen at a local nightclub in the early hours of last Friday morning.
Coleman claimed a faulty washing machine had been the reason for arriving 90 minutes late on Friday only to be forced into a statement on the club's website in which he admitted that it had been an "excuse" after being out the night before until the early hours. "I was in the wrong place at the wrong time," said the former Fulham manager, who has taken the second division club to four wins out of 12.

Essien was booked for a late lunge on Osman during the 1-1 draw between the two sides at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Osman escaped serious injury in the tackle and Cahill believes Essien should apologise for the challenge.
I'm so angry right now about the state of Italian Football. I am ranting at a friend on IM over the corruption and violence and how everything just needs to fucking STOP.
Now, let me explain that this is the stupidest fantasy league among the 3 I pay attention to (I have a premierleague.com team that's middling and a yahoo team that's like 90th percentile--don't hate). It is also the highest stakes because it's the one that my local does and you win shit--I mean stuff. 
Anyway, you get 55 million pounds and only 20 transfers a year (which is why I'm riding out the RVP injury). You get 3 points for an goal 2 points for an assist and a complicated system with defenders (1 point for 60 minutes on and 2 points for a clean sheet and minus 1 point for the second goal conceded and every goal thereafter). Pick a captain and their points are doubled.
There are no points for tackles or balls won or anything else, so it's really hard to get a good team because obviously the goal scorers are expensive. You hope for some dark horses like Petrov (MC) or Elano. Of course they've done SFA since I put them on.
I had a really good week this week because of fucking Cristiano Ronaldo my captain--from three people. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU WIN. I mean I'm still doing really well locally and I'm also winning the Philly Scouse Contingent mini league, but I'm really ashamed of my team. If I could get more than 20 transfers I'd put Almunia in goal and get rid of Owen and Geremi. I think I put them in after a bad injury week and Newcastle must have had a decent week--but I'm not sure when that is.
I'm sorry I subjected you to my shitty team.

Ronaldo said: "I dated a girl from Manchester and she showed me that steak pies and chips are very good. But I have to be careful. the club do not want me to eat too much of this food as it would not be good for my game. They have told me they do not want me gaining any extra weight."
