The 'Wagatha Christine' court case between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy has got to be the most stupid libel case to have ever appeared before the bench.

The legal costs will grossly out weigh the damages awarded.

These are two idiotic women (better be careful that I don't make a libeless statement against them) who both wouldn't agree to settle out of court.

I can see the legal cost being over £250,000 between them.

With the state of the country that money could be better used amongst various charities.

I believe Perer Andre's penis is part of the case, I wonder if they can make it stand up in court.

Hi

On cost the BBC had an estimated breakdown at +1 million each with probable costs awarded to the winner, however the costs are calculated so the winner would receive around £700K a loss of £300k Damages would be around £40K So the winner will be out roughly £240k the loser £1.74 M

Absolute madness this case, it is all about reputation

Can see the loser needing to deal with bailiffs if they don't stump up cash

No both have lots of money but lack a bit in the brains department
