The article reports on the legal ongoing tensions between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy following Vardy's loss in a high-profile libel suit. Vardy's team accuses Rooney of serious misconduct for allegedly understating her legal costs, aiming to manipulate the ongoing legal proceedings. Despite a previous ruling that found no misconduct, Vardy's legal representatives continue to push for a reconsideration. This case highlights the complexities and challenges within celebrity legal disputes, alongside The Independent's dedication to unbiased journalism on significant issues like these.
At a hearing in October last year, Ms Vardy's barristers told a costs judge that Ms Rooney and her legal team committed "serious misconduct" by understating some of her costs to "attack the other party's costs".
A judge found no misconduct had been committed. Appealing that decision on Monday, Jamie Carpenter KC said Ms Rooney "very substantially understated" her legal costs by around 40 per cent in her budget in a document called precedent H 2021.
