I don't think it is helpful to overanalyse the comparison. The result is that a player under contract to one club was personally sued for a lot of money by that club for breaking the contract. (though we don't know what became of the case)





Not relevant. Leeds' case depended on them claiming, in legal papers, that they wanted him back and Bradford foiled them. You may think they lied in Court papers but I wouldn't recommend it.





You've a bad memory, then. I never heard of the Bulls suing Harris, nor did I ever read any report of Harris "suing his legal team".

I was given to understand that Harris's Agent at that time was a Solicitor, Caisley is a Solicitor who in his haste to put one over Caddick more than Hetherington ignored the fine print! Also apparently that if nothing had happened for a further 6 weeks Harris would have been a free agent and cost nothing save what he negotiated with the Club!

FA both were mentioned as 'options' in newspaper reports. dont think anything ever came of it but they were definitely mentioned at the time.

Shooting Hetherington up his personal harris with an elephant gun would equally be an option, but I was responding to the claims that the Bulls [iwere[/i suing Harris or he his lawyers, and not discussing options.

Your irony would work....if it applied to this case.



It doesn't.

I had the same recollection Bulliac.



What also stands out in that article is the alleged £1/2m for Leeds' legal costs to date. In the context of the value placed upon the "effect of the recession" as PH called it a\t the last forum.

Well, I still haven't heard of any action brought by Harris against his lawyers. If it had actually been issued, I'd have thought there would have been big publicity, but who knows.



So far as the 500K goes, this was by no means Leeds' costs to date, it was just the costs of the preliminary issue hearing which the Bulls, to their amazement, lost. So the award of costs would only have been in respect of costs Leeds had incurred in dealing with the preliminary issue, and not of the whole case, which would therefore be a whole lot more. What they would have been by the time the case folded, I shudder to think, and whatever they were, double it, as the Bulls had a legal team too and they won't have been working for nothing either.

?? How come Bulls paid Leeds £68k for the costs of the preliminary hearing, as soon as Mr Justice Gray's Decision was released?

I don't know what the figure was. It would normally be assessed by the judge on the dya the prelim hearing was concluded, though.

I lied. It was only [url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/archive/2005/07/20/Bradford+District+Archive/8080889.Bulls_lose_Harris_court_battle/=#800000£64k.[/url

So the judge basically gave Caisley a direct answer to the 64,000 dollar question, then? =#FFFFFFExcept it was pounds not dollars
