Rugby Players Face £2.8m Legal Bill

The brain injury claimants in the ongoing rugby legal action have been ordered to settle £2.8m in legal fees owed to the defendants, with the majority due by the end of October if the case is to continue. Senior Master Cook, the judge presiding over the case, determined that these costs resulted from delays caused by what he described as the 'contradictory and misguided approach' of Rylands Garth, the players' former solicitors. musojam.blog

The case remains 'in crisis' as these legal fees need to be settled this month to avoid further complications. Rylands Garth had been representing the players until earlier this year when they were replaced due to the issues identified by the court.
