He cant sue his wife. She's got the notes about the whole affair. ( I should say the supplements affair )

He can always divorce his lawyer.

I thought that "mystery benefactor" picked up the tab on ASADA's legal bills, and Hird was just greedily trying to get the money back in his pocket regardless?

The Little benefactor picked up the costs for the first court case. Hird thought his appeal would be covered by insurance (I wish I could find an insurance company to cover me starting legal proceedings, I would sue heaps of people just for fun!) so he took the insurer to court for not covering the costs of the appeal.

I would assume he has incurred even more costs by taking Chubb to court to pay for his other costs?

ha!

I am 99% confident I tread in the HUN today that the judge said in the decision that Hird presented no evidence to support his action.

Very Strange

It is the Essendon way, when ASADA and WADA produce lots of evidence they say there is none, yet when James produces none I am sure they will say there is heaps. Still no sign of any records for anything though

Presented plenty of stuff - just that the judge didn't regard it as evidence supporting his claims. Annoying to have people with legal training dismiss your carefully concocted narrative so arbitrarily.  I'm sure Tania would have helped him with his submission though -if they're still talking that is.

Apparently he failed/refused to present the transcripts of the questions/answers he felt forced to answer at the joint ASADA/AFL investigation. Being forced the indignity to answer those questions was a central part of his argument that he was defending himself and thus covered by the insurance. There must have been some hot stuff and bus tire marks there that he felt could not enter the public domain.

No doubt Hird can only hope to tread as carefully as you do, OD ... it sounds like for him, tread is preceded only ever by "Barge in where angels fear to"

Disagree. McLachlan has to say it's a difficult decision to protect his reputation whichever way the decision goes. There will be complaints whatever decision is made so to say it was a "hard decision" insulates the Commission and McLachlan from criticism.

(Actually, to clarify, he may be an idiot, but this particular statement is not idiotic).

No, he needs to say that "until the appeal is over jobe will keep his medal. If the appeal fails the afl will have no choice other than to strip jobe of his medal as he gained it whilst being part of an unregulated and unsupervised illegal supplement regime".

More like those than Phil Read, not to mention fread and fwrite .... 

Gil has shown how weak he is by saying he will abstain from voting on Jobe and the medal claiming need to be seen as being independent.

Seems a cop out to me so he can maintain his self image (er, delusion) of being fair...no, no blood on his pure hands!

Must admit that the item that saddened me the most from the Age's list was the miserly token $200,000 by work cover. This was the most important finding and would have angered a lot of honest people in an Australian industry that has propelled itself to the bottom of  the spittoon.

Independent in this context meaning " fence- sitting dork".

As predicted by most James Hird has lost his legal case against Chubb and now has to pay a legal bill of around $640,000. Maybe he should be suing his lawyers for the abysmal advice he has received throughout the whole saga!

She's already taken him for more than half of what they had together.....

I'm not sure that's right. When you act negligently/fraudulently or illegally you may not be covered. Maybe that's what the Swiss case is about. The current judgement is scathing on the club and if I was the insurance cpy I'd be saying the club has breached its obligations to act legally. Ergo 'we are not responsible for payment'

Interesting to hear the views of any insurance lawyers out there....
