Hopefully he has real money to invest, and can stop the bulls being liquidated |

| Quote Magic Superbeetle="Magic Superbeetle"We are very sorry our comments were construed by the parties as offensive. Our very last intention was to harm the reputation of parties involved, merely to protect the name of the rfl during these proceedings. Our number one priority is finding a solution to the ongoing problems at Bradford, and, owing to events over the offseason (lenaghan and koukash the bar stewards) may have dealt with this issue in a heavy handed manner.
Problem solved, no actual confession of guilt, everyone's happy. A placid statement like this is a lot cheaper than taking it to court to prove a point.'"
thats not a retraction so may not placate them.
Regardless the RFL shouldnt be making statements it cannot stand by. If the RFL do retract their statement, or end up losing a libel case. Ralph Rimmer should be looking for a new job. It is unacceptable to be making a statement which puts the RFL in legal trouble to protect your reputation. |

Agreed entirely. However, this looks more of a backdown from Moore more than anything, if he had a chance to recoup whatever he put in Bradford with a watertight case, why would you "settle" for an apology and a retraction? The most interesting thing of the article :-

It is a bit of a warning to them to make sure they cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s while maybe getting more stuff in print.

Admission perhaps that he doesn't have everything he needs written and dated? If it comes down to he said this they said that, it's going to become (another) long winded mess, that everyone in the sport could do without! |

I think the legal action would be for libel. Which an apology and retraction would have an effect.
I dont think Moore is threatening legal action to recover his losses from the RFL, im not sure what case he could possibly bring, especially as he hasnt even followed the full appeal process for the sporting penalty, and if unhappy with the RFL's wierd offer of independant arbitration if the arbitrators arent independant, he could have taken the cause to CAS |

You don't know much about libel. It isn't a public dick measuring contest, if one party apologises and retracts then there is little or no money to be had, and the libel court could (and very well might) take the view that a party ploughing on to a hearing refusing to accept an apology and retraction was wasting everyone's time, and stuff it for a very large amount of costs. |

That's precisely what I'm suggesting? If I had a case against someone, for a decent sum of money, I wouldn't just settle for an apology and a retraction, and get the case thrown out! |

Hmm. I'm not understanding you then, because you seem to me to be suggesting the opposite to what I am. |
