Vardy Seeks Court Order for Rooney Documents

Rebekah Vardy's legal battle with Coleen Rooney continues as Vardy seeks to challenge the over £1.8 million in costs she was ordered to pay after losing a libel case against Rooney. Vardy's team has requested the court to compel Rooney to provide privileged documents and VAT details, claiming the VAT situation is 'murky'. Rooney's legal representatives argue that Vardy's request is a 'fishing expedition' meant to derail the case and is based on misconceived arguments. The High Court has heard both sides, with Rooney's lawyers maintaining there is no genuine issue and that the VAT point has been clarified. This ongoing legal confrontation stems from Rooney's 2019 public accusation that Vardy's Instagram account leaked private stories to the press, a claim the court found 'substantially true' in 2022. The dispute over legal costs and the VAT claim continues to fuel this high-profile legal saga.
