Rugby Players Face £2.8m Legal Fees Deadline

Players in the ongoing legal action over brain injuries in rugby have been left liable for £2.8m in legal fees owed to defendants, with the majority needing to be settled by the end of October if the case is to continue in its current form.

The costs resulted from delays caused by what the judge, Senior Master Cook, described as the 'contradictory and misguided approach' of Rylands Garth, the solicitors who previously represented the players. The case is described as being 'in crisis' as the fees need urgent settlement this month. solvita.blog
