Rugby brain injury claimants face £2.8m legal bill

Brain injury claimants in rugby face a £2.8m legal bill that needs to be settled by the end of October to continue their case.

The £2.8m legal costs are partly due to delays caused by previous solicitors. According to Senior Master Cook, the judge overseeing the case, these fees resulted from the 'contradictory and misguided approach' of Rylands Garth, the firm that represented the players until earlier this year. piekny-pies.pl

The claimants' case is described as 'in crisis', with the fees needing to be settled by the end of October if the legal action is to continue in its current form.
