"As is clear from the terms of s. 169(1) of the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015, the default position is that the party who is entirely successful in civil proceedings is entitled to an award of costs against the party who is unsuccessful, unless the court orders otherwise, having regard to the nature and circumstances of the case and the conduct of the proceedings by the parties, including a non-exhaustive list of factors to which the court may have regard. None of the factors identified in the section appear to be of particular relevance in the context of this case"

It'll be an interesting argument.

Only two types of people can afford to go to court, the wealthy and the poor.

The risks with a two week jury trial to someone like the Plaintiff are huge. It could bankrupt the Plaintiff.

The judge won't want to do it, but Lawrence wasn't found liable so why should he be left with the bill.

Don't know if judge can have regard to McGregor's offer to pay or not.

sold the whisky and made tidy sum. Think still has a stake in stout

McGregor's latest tweet, playing to his idiot fans as if this was his one and only transgression

“am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side. “

I reckon he’s losing a lot of fans and followers in Ireland -hence referencing further afield to try and garner sympathy

Looks like McGregor is already losing his brand deals.

would have to award substantial damages as "rape is a very serious matter"

The jury awarded around €188,000 in special damages and €60,000 in general damages (due to lost earnings / future earnings afaik), but absolutely no aggravated or exemplary damages,

He's just going to play the Trump card. Many MMA fighters, some who hate him in terms of fighting are supporting him. He has the backing of Dana who has the backing of Trump. I'm starting to realise this isn't going to effect him at all.

With that said, I hope the court sitting next week works out well for Nikita, especially with regards the Lawrence situation she could be in debt.

Is he in the doghouse? First mention of dee in latest statement

Spot on

People want to hear from me, I needed time," McGregor wrote. "I know I made mistakes. Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches.

"I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me.

"As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual and all the witnesses present swore to that under oath. I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision.

"I can’t go back and I will move forward. I am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side. That’s it. No more. Getting back to the gym- the fight game awaits!"

We have been hearing from him all weekend !

His boxing coach Philip Sutcliffe was forced to resign from Independent Ireland the other day, presumably due to his support of or association with McGregor.

The Hitman videogame studio announced they are severing all ties with him and removing him from the game.

I did a search of Forged Irish Stout and Proper 12 Whiskey on various supermarket and off-license websites and most seem to have removed the products this morning. Maybe getting ahead of the rumored boycott.

On the grapevine i've heard some business partners, athletes etc are allegedly preparing to sever ties with SBG Ireland due to McGregor's association … possibly also due to John Kavanagh's support of McGregor during the trial. No sponsor wants their banner up beside a big poster of McGregor.

I think there will be more fallout over the coming days. It's a bad look for any company, advertiser or athlete to be the last one to sever ties with an abuser because then it seems like you are just copying everyone else. Better to do it quick rather than look around to see who else is doing it.

He sold the whiskey to Proximo years back but I'd imagine they can sue him for damages if the brand is potentially worthless now. About to get very expensive for him

It's disgusting.
