'Nikita Hand could end up owing more money to Conor McGregor's co-accused than she's won' - legal expert on next steps in civil rape case
Briefly

Legal expert opinions suggest that Nikita Hand, despite winning her case against Conor McGregor and being awarded damages of over €248,603, might end up owing more than she received due to costs associated with the co-accused, James Lawrence. This scenario highlights the complexities of legal battles where even a win can lead to financial repercussions, leading to Ms. Hand potentially facing liabilities that exceed her awarded damages.
The High Court jury found sufficient evidence to conclude that Ms. Hand had been assaulted by Conor McGregor, thus holding him liable for damages. However, the legal landscape complicates her victory, as the costs associated with James Lawrence, who also faced charges, may counterbalance the financial relief she obtained, throwing her financial situation into uncertainty.
