Rugby Claimants Face £2.8m Legal Bill

Rugby brain injury claimants face a £2.8m legal bill to continue their case over brain injuries, with fees needing settlement by the end of October.

The claimants in the ongoing legal action over brain injuries in rugby have been left responsible for £2.8m in legal fees owed to the defendants. The costs are directly attributed to delays caused by what a judge described as the "contradictory and misguided approach" of previous solicitors Rylands Garth. xsportfeed.quest

The case is currently described as "in crisis" and the majority of fees will need to be settled by the end of October if the case is to continue in its current form.
