In a new twist to the infamous Wagatha Christie case, Rebekah Vardy has launched an appeal bid against the cash she was ordered to pay Coleen Rooney.
Lawyers for the two women returned to the High Court last month in a bid to confirm how much money Vardy should pay Rooney after she lost her 2022 libel case.Mrs Rooney had accused Mrs Vardy of leaking her private information to the press, with Wednesday marking the fifth anniversary of the viral social media post at the heart of the dispute.
But Senior Costs Judge Andrew Gordon-Saker found "on balance and, I have to say, only just", that Mrs Rooney's legal team had not committed wrongdoing, and therefore it was "not an appropriate case" to reduce the amount of money that Mrs Vardy should pay.Court documents revealed today show that Vardy has launched an appeal bid over the amount she was ordered to pay Rooney.The previous hearing in London was told that Mrs Rooney's claimed legal bill - £1,833,906.
