In the ongoing legal dispute following the unsuccessful 2022 libel case between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy, allegations have surfaced that Rooney's lawyers committed misconduct by significantly understating her legal costs by approximately 40%. This claim arose during a court hearing where Vardy's lawyers argued that Rooney's budgeting process lacked transparency. A judge previously ruled no misconduct occurred, but Vardy is appealing this decision. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions as both parties contest legal costs stemming from the high-profile case involving accusations of social media leaks.
During the costs budgeting process, Mrs Rooney concealed from Mrs Vardy and the court that her incurred costs were much less than her true incurred costs.
Although the costs judge was critical of Mrs Rooney's lawyers for their lack of transparency, he ultimately found that there was no misconduct.
