Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

I've just speed read the 75 page judgment - nothing about costs that I could see.

However it looks like I was right about the pleaded Defence ...... here's an extract from the judgment .....

On 8-9 February 2022, I heard the defendant’s applications to join Ms Watt as a part 20 defendant, to file a Re-Re-Amended Defence and for disclosure orders; and the claimant’s applications for further information and disclosure orders. I gave judgment on 14 February 2022, dismissing the application to join Ms Watt, granting limited permission to amend, and making specific and supplemental disclosure orders against the claimant: Vardy v Rooney (3) [2022] EWHC 304 (QB).

So in plain and simple terms ,

1 Rooney's lawyers realised that the original defence was either poorly drafted or information came to light after the exchange of statements I guess that led them to the view that Vardy's agent Watt could be responsible.
2. The application to join Watt as a party was thrown out because it was too late and too close to the trial. She was however given permission to amend her defence ( for a 2nd time !)
3. Rooney won the case in any case because the Judge found that Vardy was less than truthful ( she puts int much nicer than that ) and that the original Defence that Vardy spilt the beans was true because she had actually told her agent to do so ( rather than the agent going off on a frolick of her own )
4. Rooney won't get the whole costs because a) they are disproportionate to the issues and b) she lost interlocutory hearings ( like the one in Feb 2022 - above for which Rooney will have to pay.

Hope this helps lol

It does. Thank you.
 

Today has been a good day, if you ignore the racing which we won't discuss. Who wouldn't enjoy G&T Friday combined with a bbq. Despite being ogled by two seagulls on net doors roof. They're still about, one just flew over my head as I type. Just enjoying my limoncello shot and will probably gave another G&T or 2 before the nights out. Have a good Friday everyone. Hope the Blues put in a performance.

Very kind of you to say so, sir.

Been diddling nicely thank you! Had a gym mishap at the end of March that laid me up for best part of 3 months, since when I’ve been training like a madman to try to get ready for Tough Mudder in Sept (spoiler: I don’t think I’ll be winning!) and just got back from a lovely 2 weeks away with my wife and boys. Got some training in while away but still managed to avail myself of the lovely food, beer and rum on offer.

How are you? Well-fed, judging by your last post!
