Rugby Players Liable for £2.8m Legal Fees

Players in the ongoing legal action over brain injuries in rugby have been ordered to pay £2.8m in legal fees to defendants, with the majority due by the end of October. Senior Master Cook determined that the delays were caused by what he described as the "contradictory and misguided approach" of Rylands Garth, the solicitors firm who previously represented the players.

The case remains "in crisis" as these fees need to be settled this month for the case to continue in its current form. Rylands Garth was replaced earlier this year, but the financial consequences of their approach continue to impact the players' legal battle. lebandit.lat
