Mr Justice Saffman, in the Leeds High Court said
“I therefore have no difficulty in finding that the claimant has established, on balance, that this was a wrongful dismissal.”
So then awarded £167,000 to Mr Mason for loss of earnings and the court costs of £35,000 against the club.
The sting in the tail is that the terms of the of Damage Payment will be discussed at a further hearing.

Why do you morons mention Fartown when you haven't supported the club long enough to remember Sheffield Eagles? |

| Is it just me that remembers lots of hudds fans who posted on here at the who were adamant that their club hadn't made an illegal approach to kopczak. Bit embarrassing for them now their management have admitted it in a court of law .  |

Does the £167k and the damages payments count towards their salary cap? If so, could be a few players leaving shudders fairly sharpish

Do you have a link to the report of this hearing?
This is the T and A,
www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... g_Kopczak/
Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understand Giants were not found guilty of tapping up but having broken a gentleman's agreement not to poach Bradford's players. There appears to have been some kind of brokered compensation deal which amounted to £20k on the basis the RFL threatened not to register him.
With Koppy now saying he agreed on August 8th, this is clear evidence he was tapped up and begs a some interesting questions.
1, Was there a hearing?
2, What was the judgement?
3, What was the evidence given by Kopczak and the Giants?
Hold all that

According to the T&A article both Kopout and Thewlis agreed they had lied to the RL in regards to when he agreed to move there. What punishment can the RL dish out to Shudds? Surely a points deduction and a fine is in order.

In the real world the original charge would be filed, the compensation agreed would be set aside as based on false information and a further charge brought of bringing the game into disrepute.
As this is the RFL, they'll be unavailable for comment.

I'm not sure I agree with a points deduction for what is a business decision, but there must be some sanction for both Kopczak and the club for lying to the RFL.
From the Bull's POV, if the 20K compensation figure was based on the RFL accepting that Huddersfield hadn't made an illegal approach but was paid to as a kind of good will payment to smooth things over, then that should be looked at again in light of the court admissions.
If the 20K was paid in admission that the approach was illegal, and we accepted it, then I'm not sure where we have cause to complain.
