Rugby Brain Injury Claimers Face £2.8m Legal Bill

Brain injury claimants in rugby face a £2.8m legal bill due to delays caused by previous solicitors. The case remains in crisis with fees needing settlement by the end of October.

The ongoing legal action over brain injuries in rugby has left claimants responsible for £2.8m in legal fees owed to the defendants. The majority of these costs must be settled by the end of October if the case is to continue in its current form.

The costs directly result from delays caused by what the judge, Senior Master Cook, described as the 'contradictory and misguided approach' of Rylands Garth, the solicitors' firm that previously represented the players until earlier this year. game-sweetbonanza.com
