Rugby concussion lawsuit saved from collapse after 11th-hour £1.5m payment

Asertis, the litigation funder backing the UK rugby concussion litigation, is expected to finance a £1.5 million payment toward the defendants’ legal costs following the replacement of Rylands Garth by KP Law, helping prevent the immediate collapse of the proceedings, although 377 claimants still face having their cases struck out unless outstanding medical records are provided by the end of October.
