Rebekah Vardy 'could face bill of up to £2000000' after losing Coleen Rooney libel trial
The WAGs' legal battle began in 2019 when stories started appearing in The Sun which Rooney declared Vardy had sold to the press, revealing made up details well-nigh her private life.
Rooney was dubbed 'Wagatha Christie' later she conducted a months-long sting operation on Instagram, coming to the decision that it was the wife of Jamie Vardy who leaked the stories.
However, Vardy denied the allegations profusely and sued Wayne Rooney's married woman as a result.
The loftier contour trial lasted just over a week and had anybody hooked with its many bombshells, excruciating text messages and quite a lot of tears.
At present, Vardy has been landed with hefty legal costs later on the trial's verdict was revealed – and it'south predicted she could have to fork out up to £2million.
Michael Skrein, libel lawyer and senior partner at Reed Smith, said that even though the Wagatha case has already lasted over two years, the ruling isn't the end of the story.
He says we tin can await another hearing in a couple of months, where costs will be decided and Vardy will reveal whether she wants to try to appeal the judgment.
Explaining the next steps, he adds: 'At this point the costs of the case are unknown, but the usual effect is that the losing party pays for the winner's costs. In one case the court has decided that, the amount payable will be for the parties to agree, failing which it will exist up to the court. They are nearly never 100% of the final bill.
'Equally Vardy will need to pay her ain lawyers' fees and most probable around 2-thirds of Rooney's, she could be facing a full of shut to £2million.'
'Although I comport Mrs Vardy no sick-will, today'south judgment makes clear that I was right in what I said in my posts of Oct 2019', Rooney added.
'I would like to thank all of my legal team, my family, friends and anybody who supported me, including the public, through this difficult and stressful fourth dimension.'
