Rebekah Vardy bid to access more documents is fishing expedition', court hears
Briefly

Rebekah Vardy's latest legal maneuvers in the ongoing Wagatha Christie libel case against Coleen Rooney are facing pushback in the High Court. Vardy's lawyers are seeking privileged documents, which they argue are necessary to clarify a murky VAT claim exceeding £300,000. Rooney's representation rejects this, deeming the request as a 'fishing expedition' designed to prolong the legal process and impose additional costs, which would not serve the interests of either party. The court has been urged to dismiss this request, emphasizing a need for efficiency in the proceedings.
Mrs Vardy's request for privileged documents is a fishing expedition, aiming to burden the ongoing Wagatha Christie libel case against Mrs Rooney and cause unnecessary delays.
The defendant's counsel argues that Mrs Vardy's further application is misconceived, lacking genuine issues and simply seeking to prolong the proceedings by introducing new costs.
Mr Carpenter contends that the situation regarding over £300,000 in VAT is confusing and unclear, necessitating further disclosure to clarify how the VAT is claimed.
Mrs Rooney's legal team asserts that the court should extinguish this unchecked expedition, highlighting that prolonging matters would not benefit either party.
