Vardy has lost

[Viviennemary]

Yes. Good decision. I thought she might win. What a fiasco and waste of money

Rooney was the defendant so won't get any damages. Vardy will have to pay her legal costs, although that will still leave Rooney substantially out of pocket.

Oh I hadn't followed it very closely, had assumed there was some sort of counter claim involved.

I don’t think it’s that simple, she did yes, but you can see on her text exchanges when giving one bit of info she texts “I want paying for that” . So she was to some extent Doing it for money as well. But it’s like a couple of hundred quid. It’s nothing.

it’s clear she was jealous of Colleen and that drove part of her behaviour, and she had no love for any of them she was selling any info she could get, on anyone she could get it on, and she wanted to be top wag as well. Like the master manipulator.

the whole thing points to a very grabby jealous unhappy narcissistic egotistical dishonest manipulative greedy woman. It’s really awful behaviour to all their social circle and his colleagues.

I think it's quite telling that Jamie Vardy was barely seen in court at all, supporting his wife. He turned up for one day I think, possibly because he had to give evidence??? (Correct me if I'm wrong on that).
Wayne, on the other hand, was there virtually every day. He didn't look thrilled about it, to be honest, but he turned up nonetheless. Perhaps Colleen was collecting her dues from him...

If lawyers refused to represent very stupid people, they'd all be out of a job. Rebecca Vardy is dangerously thick. Dangerous, because she doesn't realise how thick she actually is.

Want that something to do with Wayne Rooney's team had finished their season but Jamie Vardy was still working.

*wasn't that

@MuffinMcLayLikeABundleOfHay If that was the case, then it was very unfortunate for Rebekah. Bad optics. It looked like he was distancing himself from her theatrics.

Ok, I'll correct you!

Jamie Vardy did not give evidence. He did, however, turn up on the day Wayne Rooney gave evidence.

Wayne Rooney has morphed into a human Toby jug.

Fully agree with this

That's just to do with one still working and the other not though, isn't it?

I also found the judges comments very surprising. She pretty much harpooned vardy and called her out as a liar and She clearly stated that vardy and her agent were in cahoots and behind the leaks. She didn’t mess around or sugar coat it.

vardy won’t appeal, that’s just talk, she was never going to come out and say shit the judge got it right I’m guilty as fuck and she’s proven herself a dishonest woman, who lies at whim.

the issue she also now has is she will be fully ostracised by his colleagues and the other wags, and he will to some extent also, as folks won’t believe he didn’t know. It will damage bis relationships with his team mates, no one will trust him either or want to socialise with them.

colleen on the other hand, actually comes out of it looking smart and dignified, and with a set of balls on her.

I remember seeing a documentary CR made years ago about hospices because she had a sister who died in one (I think). I thought very highly of her then and I've got no reason since to think otherwise. Apart from her husband playing for Man sodding Utd!

I sincerely doubt any of Vardy's Leicester colleagues have been labouring under any delusions, as far as their opinion of Rebekah is concerned: she's long been seen as a self-serving and manipulative piece of work. JV is very much in the twilight of his career, anyway. Hasn't played for England in ages, while Leicester's spell in the sun is essentially over. The dynamic of their relationship is very odd, but I still think he'll be livid about all this.

I think the judge worded the judgement such that any attempts by RV to appeal are scuppered immediately, because the judge has made it crystal clear that RV & her agent have lied and deliberately destroyed incriminating evidence.

the judge has left no room for her judgement to be misinterpreted by an appeal panel.

it was incredibly foolish on RV’s part to take it to trial.

most of them are also vapid stupid men so 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t think you can just appeal becayse you don’t like the verdict, there needs to be grounds, and it doesn’t seem there is.I think they’d hVe to prove the judge screwed up in sone way and she didn’t. There will be no appeal.

Correct. Vardy is saying that she won't appeal, but if she did, she would have to show that the judge had made an error in law (which she clearly hasn't), or the judge didn't follow the right process (e.g. she allowed evidence which should have been excluded), or the decision was perverse (i.e. entirely unsupported by the weight of the evidence).

The starting point is that the trial is not a dress rehearsal. It is the first and last night of the show. The Court of Appeal will overturn a judge's findings of fact unless they are clearly at odds with the evidence. In particular, the judge's findings that Vardy is an unreliable witness and that significant parts of her evidence were not credible (polite way of saying she was lying through her teeth) stands, along with her finding that Rooney was an honest and reliable witness.

Even if there was new evidence, it would have to be compelling and something that could not have been discovered before the trial for the Court of Appeal to admit it.

As is normal, the judge has set out her reasoning in arriving at her judgement clearly. My view is that Vardy is right not to appeal. Any attempt would be doomed to failure.

Not sure that will affect costs. Rooney offered a "drop hands" settlement. Assuming her lawyers used the appropriate procedure - and they're bound to have - the usual outcome is that if the other side insists on continuing and doesn't achieve anything better, then it must bear all the costs from the date they refused or the offer expired. So conduct before then won't affect anything.

If vardy did try to appeal, would the same legal team have to represent her or are they allowed to wash their hands of it her

She can drop them. They cannot drop her.

How long has this case been going? Prob 2 yrs or more so before the cost of living crisis. But that's it for Vardy. As a brand prob untouchable. Her reputation if she had one is damaged and someone has to pay poss £1 million plus. Even in her world it's a big chunk of money to achieve a 75 page report calling you a liar.

Imagine being Vardys friend.
You could never trust her.

Wasn't she caught taking pictures of Sarah Harding handbag.

Wonder if Jamies shelf life expired now or will she stick with him.

They have their star turn if they want to resurrect Celebrity Big Brother…

It would put a few quid in the coffers.

Vardy started legal action in June 2020. So yes, the case took just over 2 years.
