Rugby Players Liable for £2.8m Legal Fees

The claimants in the ongoing brain injury legal action over rugby have been ordered to pay £2.8m in legal fees to the defendants. The majority of these costs must be settled by the end of October for the case to continue in its current form.

The fees are a direct consequence of delays caused by Rylands Garth, the previous solicitors representing the players, whom Senior Master Cook described as having a 'contradictory and misguided approach.' The case remains 'in crisis' as the settlement deadline approaches. truewildgame.com
