Coleen Rooney's legal team has been cleared of misconduct allegations in the high-profile Wagatha Christie case against Rebekah Vardy, according to a recent court ruling.The dispute centred on how much Rebekah should pay in legal costs after losing their libel battle in 2022.
Jamie Carpenter KC, representing Mrs Vardy, had claimed that Coleen and her lawyers "deliberately understated" some costs to "use the apparent difference in incurred costs thereby created, to attack the other party’s costs", which he argued amounted to "serious misconduct".
He suggested this should result in a reduction of the amount Mrs Vardy was required to pay. However, Robin Dunne, acting for Mrs Rooney, refuted these claims, stating "there has been no misconduct" and it was "illogical to say that we misled anyone".
In his Tuesday ruling, Senior Costs Judge Andrew Gordon-Saker found, albeit narrowly, that there was no wrongdoing by Mrs Rooney’s legal team and it was "not an appropriate case" to reduce the amount Mrs Vardy should pay.
