Rugby brain injury claimants face £2.8m legal bill

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

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