Her legal team told her they would get her big money but what they were more interested in was big money for themselves. These people work for themselves first and the client second.
Hmm, I expect that while you are at work, picking for and packing parcels, you are both doing your best quality work and you also anticipate earning more than a survival wage - do you not?
As this solicitor said he probably offered her a very substantial amount to settle out of court and I agree, he also said bringing it to court would be a long and trying case, she didn’t do this for money she did it for justice I’m just hoping now he’s free some other woman could fall victim to him who mightn’t have her courage
As always a very clear explanation as to how the judge arrived at his decision to award costs. This very complicated case highlights just how astute, analytical and mentally agile members of the legal profession must be to deal with these courtroom gymnastics. Thank you Terry for your excellent clarification.
What makes you think this was complicated case? It was straightforwardly an attempt by a woman to get money. Nothing more, nothing less! And this judge is an activist of the worse type. Blindly believing the woman and blindly disbelieving the men and blindly ignoring the evidence of other people questioned. It's getting to the stage where even Sharia law would be preferable!
Just saw a negative comment mentioning the late Richard Groggan. What do people be thinking altogether. Terry you're a top man. You have an endearing quality and you remind me of a friend of mine from Portlaoise or as he calls it port lousy 😂 Youre a legend and always enjoy listening to your takes.
Hi Terry, Could you do an opinion estimate piece on a breakdown of these costs, please? Or costs in a standard case of sorts. I feel 99% of people find it 'criminal' that fees are 6 x times a reward. Is there VAT @ 23% as part or on top of the €1.5m? Investigative fees? Profit? etc.
6:20 "Mr Gordon said he wanted it reflexted in costs"... sorry... does this mean this solicitor gets to say, that on the basis of McGregor's conduct outside court, his "costs" were to be raised and he be paid MORE money? This, to me, seems utterly disgraceful. You're a solicitor you are paid for your marshalling your clients case through the process. A defendant making stupid comments on twitter doesn't entitle you to more than your already astronomical costs... why doesn't Ms Hand get more damages as a result of these tweets? Seems utterly bizzare to me. Whole system seems designed to reward these solicitors far more than the actual victim of the case.
There are quite a lot of lawyers in this case, and all the assistants behind them and expenses. They did a job, a highly skilled job for which they studied and trained for, for decades. And they took risks. Nobody is getting rich on this.
Nikita Hand already rejected an out of court offer. She wanted to win the case, money was not her key motivator - if it was, she would have taken the original offer.
@@InExcelsisDeo24As I’m aware we do not no this as a fact. But we are inferring it from what usually happens. I think with a bit of common sense, it’s so obvious she did not do it for the money. And there will always be people who will think otherwise unfortunately.
@basketballfan5763 well the lot of them can't handle their coke, clearly. Sorry, Jimmy 5 Times doesn't do coke or drink (that much)...I guess that's where he gets his magic powers from!

The US conservative influencer and podcast host, who has advanced conspiracy theories and antisemitic rhetoric including minimising Nazi medical experiments in concentration camps, will be blocked from coming to Australia after the federal government voiced alarm about her record.
Thanks Gerry. What I wonder is why would her legal team take this case on a 'no win, no fee' basis? This was a completely risky case to take on from the beginning.
It is a kangaroo court. She was lying about 1 fella. The jury was mostly women, and Connor has 2 pay for everything cause he's rich, basically a kangaroo court. We need a new system
He paid because the jury found that he gaped Nikita Hand. No woman needs that sort of medical attention after consensual activity. Only McG DNA was found on her and her clothes.
How would you want the new system, a return to dueling? Even there the seconds were to try to work it out peacefully. And after all who wants to wake up early and assemble discreetly in some remote and foggy park nook trembling.
I have a good question for you- re the deleted messages on whatsapp or some other app or services. Those messages could could be retrieved by order from the service providers, could they have been and could that be the reason for no case to the dpp ? And if all that could be true mr mc gregor would probably never know ? Love your opinion on this ?
I'd say it was facts that swung it. The medical evidence from several health care professionals, the photographs of the extensive bruising, etc. The jury saw and heard things we didn't see, but that some journalists who attended court have described (see Shattered Lives and Crime World). The judge was confident the jury reached the right decision. His reputation is significant though because it shows a pattern of a person who isn't in control of their emotions or their impulses, a person who shows poor judgement (he's no stranger to criminal courts). Makes me wonder if he's got CTE.
@@fleurrigbyIf the medical facts were that impossible to dispute, she’d have gotten every penny she asked for instead of what was effectively the bare minimum. It seems the jury landed on,”If this was anyone but McGregor then we’d find this whole case unlikely, but since it _is_ him, then it’s far more likely.”
Thanks Terry , I’m sure MS Hand will breathe easier after that decision. I think Mc Gregor did himself no favours posting on social media after the fact . They never learn . Terry you gave a very clear summary of this complicated case
what costs are estimated at 1.5 million? McGregor will pay all his own costs and all Laurence costs on a Solicitor Client basis and all the Plaintiff's costs on a Party/party basis. S, what costs does your estimate relate to?
The costs to Mr Lawrence defence must be quite considerable, if Conor McGregor pays all his costs would he be liable for gift tax or tax on unearned income, could the Revenue come looking for a piece.
Thanks Terry for your analysis. The costs orders awarded by the Justice Owen were in line with what were expected. Hard to listen to McGregor and Lawrence's defense trying not to have to pay costs considering the verdict in the case.
I don't get the part about james lawerence how does the judge know why the jury found him not guilty or does he? I'm scratching me head here but I've really enjoyed your info on this case and enoch burke
Judge took the view that Lawrence did not rape her because he did not even have sex with her. Lawrence's defence, however, was that they had consensual sex.
Strange decision on Mr Lawrence costs. He was found by the Jury to be innocent. Yet he has to pay his own costs. I'd imagine that decision will be appealed.
Lawrence's claim that he had that sort of activity with Hand was bogus from the start and made to make Hand look worse. Zero DNA from Lawrence found on hand despite his claims whereas McGregor's was all both her body and clothes. he had used all 3 jonnies bought on the Danielle woman.
Excellent summation. McGregor and Lawrence took a joint case together but that it was ALL being paid for by McGregor. Lawrence was ordered to pay his own costs, which means McGregor has to pay ALL the costs. A lot of people in the comments not listening!
@@keithireland6627 Do you understand law at all. It was a jury who found McGregor guilty, the judge only applies the law as it is supposed to be applied. What would you have decided. That men should be free to do as they like to women, especially if they are "celebrities"
@ Hi there my comment related to award of costs only. The jury found him liable not guilty it was a civil case. I don’t like the man at all. Ms Hand was on a cocktail of substances which led to poor decision making but bears no responsibility in essence for this. I think the judge did not want to wipe out her award by making her liable for any costs from the good of his heart but deviation from the no foal no fee model may be overturned and I know he has discretion. I do note that intoxication negates the ability to consent. The whole thing was a mess. All the best. Keith
@keithireland6627 It appears you are if the belief that a woman who takes a man to the civil court for rape and wins her case, should have to pay her legal expenses, and the judge was just being sympathetic towards her. Your attitude to violence against women, is overwhelming
No listen to the man , he has to pay for all costs, he can be a thug on the street , but not in the courts , hopefully he now can respect the law and the court system
You say "McGregor must pay the ENTIRE legal costs of the sucessful claim". I am sorry but I don't think that is accurate. My understanding is that while McGregor must pay his all own costs he only has to pay 80% of Ms Hand's costs against him Therefore Ms Hand has to pay 20% of her own costs against McGregor AND all her own costs against Lawrence. This is likely to be substantial and may potentially exceed the €248,000 she was awarded. Could you clarify this point?
This isn't true at all, she was only awarded normal costs against the McGregor case which means she only receives 80% of her legal costs. She needs to cover 20% of her own legal costs which unless no win no fee which doesn't apply in this case because she won will most likely exceed any payout she got from McGregor. I.e she will have a hefty bill most likely that will exceed any payout she got.
@@ZOOTV-1976 He was not cleared, the judge openly said he didn't believe his evidence that he had sex with Ms Hand after the rape. He made that allegation on Jan 17th, i'm wondering is that went the defense were given the forensic evidence. Just a hunch.
Terry- is this not outside the judges wheelhouse. Isnt he supposed to go on the jury decision- guilty or not? Is that not a reach to come to that conclusion ? making up his own opinion on events? Also did she not sue him ? And is mr mcgregor not allowed his opinions on the case ?
Costs are in the Judge's wheelhouse. That is what he was ruling on today and he explained why he made the ruling he did, based on what the jury found. Senior counsel for both sides were making claims for what the jury verdict meant. The judge did not buy their contentions, he disagreed. And he is the judge.
4and a half million how can you understand that guy.Any way the Barristers mad a killing as per usual.Sloppy seconds,I’m talking about the solicitors.Haha give your head a shake.
Hi Terry, am i right in saying that Nikita has to pay the bill to her team for whatever they might charge her for her case V james as she lost that case, so she still has to pay her team for the hard work they did in her case V James ??
If they took the case on a 'no win, no fee' basis then she would not have to pay them. Because she didn't win against Lawrence. Let's face it: it must have been on a 'no win, no fee basis' as she was not paying legal fees up front, too expensive.
This girl has been such a liar through out this case, her friend and 2 others are not being believed from someone who just replies I can't remember to any proven evidence such as cctv footage ,talk about strange it was 3 against one outta 4 that were together, all her texts to her boyfriend staying out for 3 days sniffing coke and drinking , what a Great mother she is, mentioning her daughter in her speech , she should've been saying don't be a dirty 3 day stop out drinking and taking drugs ,flirting men in her dress with photos, because that's what got me in this situation...never mind be strong believe in yourself ,she's an utter horror I wish her the worst ,and I hope the ex gets custody of the child.
I’m a huge Conor hater and am enjoying his downfall but I must say the evidence doesn’t add up , this feels like a gone girl type of scenario, whether or not Conor did it this is karma for all the other bs he pulled lol 😂
The state are out to get connor. Why should Laurence be out money when he was found not guilty? She said she could not remember anything, yet she hauled him before the court accusing him of rape. Where is the law, Thats outrageous, this is really scary.
Because he wasn't found "not guilty". And The State have nothing whatsoever to do with the Judiciary *in Ireland.* Nothing. The State has no interests whatsoever in *Civil* Cases. None!
Laurance is not out of money, McGregor is. The only reason Laurence was in court is because HE said he had s3x with miss Hand. Miss Hand said she had no memory of it and believed he was lying. Did you even bother reading about the case or even watch this video?
McGregor was paying Lawrence's costs from the start. Lawrence's claim that he had that sort of activity with Hand was bogus from the start and made to make Hand look worse. Zero DNA from Lawrence found on hand despite his claims whereas McGregor's was all both her body and clothes. he had used all 3 jonnies bought on the Danielle woman.
Conor's out to sabotage his own life, there's no need for the State to to anything. As for Mr, Lawrence, well he signed up to be part of this shitshow when he gave his statement to the Gardai. As long as you're not being paid to say things that aren't true to Gardai and courts, and as long as you're not brutally assaulting the women you meet, you've nothing to be scared of.
This is a rich mans punishment. If he didnt have money he wouldnt have been punished. Its a strange law that is different if you have money. Strange case all round. Mr Lawrence found guilty now by the judge.
@huzcer you're a little bit on the slow side lol I said you're gullible for believing that man got a slap for not having a drink. He got a slap because of what he said to Conor, he called him a rapist and got a well deserved slap in the mouth for it
This figure includes all pre hearing costs, correspondence, pleadings, discovery, motions etc. And then 12 or 15 days in the High Court. And Nikita Hand had 2 senior counsel, 1 junior and a firm of solicitors. The other guys had similar lineups. So, it adds up..
Lawrence's claim that he had that sort of activity with Hand was bogus from the start and made to make Hand look worse. Zero DNA from Lawrence found on Hand despite his claims whereas McGregor's was on both her body and clothes. he had used all 3 jonnies bought on the Danielle woman. That's why the jury didn't put any credence on it.
Yep. I wonder if the DPP would have prosecuted McGregor if Lawrence hadn't spun that yarn to Gardai. It was a ruse, and it sort of worked while he remains without a criminal conviction.
@@rightiswrongrightiswrong806 Lawrence lied from the start about having s3x with Hand. The jury couldn't find him liable for SA like McGregor which was what the whole civil case was ACTUALLY about because he didn't even have s3x with her. it's not even that complicated.
@@rightiswrongrightiswrong806 the ACTUAL case was about being liable for assault by gape or not. McGregor was found liable for that by the jury. Lawrence could not be found liable for that because he didn't even have that activity with her in the first place.
@jeanmarie3258 What would it say about me exactly? That I don't agree with a Justice system lining up Hopeless Skanks to Financially rape a Tosser and exploit Naive Peoples Sympathies for a Solicitors Payday? McGregor might be a Rapist but his charges were dropped by the DPP in this case. White Collar Ambush Irish style
it has already changed. he might get a Jake Paul or some crappy UFC washed up fighter fight which is about the height of it but very few brands (if any) would touch him and his movie parts and invites to events are gone in the first case and very much diminished in the second case. his name is poo on a shoe.
I bit conor Had really bad defenses he shall not be on stand while lawyers are present ... plus when this happened she was like what 25 yo ??? Like aint she adult to report for assault and whatever ra.. She playing games She went with conor snd his friend snd video shows she was walking with them and teasing both men For sure the big fish have to be thr victim of lies On top of this she destroy his picture worldwide Like for nothing Conor shall be found not guilty And shall be discharge or acquitted end of story
excellent news. I always thought Lawrence was lying through his teeth. Lawrence boasting he would sue the pants off Nikita was typical of 2 very nasty men McGregor and Lawrence!
IM DELIGHTED TO HEAR THIS GREAT NEWS TERRY!MCG NEEDS TO LEARN A SEVERE LESSON & STOP MOUTHING! NIKITA HAND SUFFERED ENOUGH! WELL DONE TERRY GREAT WORK! YOUR DOING AMAZING WORK IM LEARNING A LOT FROM YOUR VIDEOS! THANK YOU! KEEP SAFE & WELL.

Hi Terry,
Could you do an opinion estimate piece on a breakdown of these costs, please?
Or costs in a standard case of sorts.
I feel 99% of people find it 'criminal' that fees are 6 x times a reward.
Is there VAT @ 23% as part or on top of the €1.5m?
Investigative fees?
Profit? etc.
Wow 1.5m the lawyers cost that's just crazy someone's doing very well out of this that's for sure
No lawyers are part of self proclaimed friendly society. This means they are exempt of paying vat and tax.
Haha tried to find additional info on friendly societies. Its not explained correctly on Google etc etc hush hush

Lawyers win as usual.
Some very good lawyers won the case for her….And of course her own body which told the story

Biased AF.
You are indeed
Logic as hell. 5 Times
Lawrence should appeal and rinse her for costs.
He doesn’t have a case to appeal as he wasn’t found liable but not for the reasons he attested to as Jury and Judge found he didn’t have sex with her.
I would be non, the wiser,, seems like a very honest perspective ": on it.
This isn't true at all, she was only awarded normal costs against the McGregor case which means she only receives 80% of her legal costs. She needs to cover 20% of her own legal costs which unless no win no fee which doesn't apply in this case because she won will most likely exceed any payout she got from McGregor.
I.e she will have a hefty bill most likely that will exceed any payout she got.
that will have been built into the deal as that's the norm. ie. her team won't claim the 20%.
Where’s the chips this week ? 😅
Another example of the rampant sexism in our legal system - she lost the other case but McGregor gets hit with her bill for it.
I'm delighted he has to pay
He's innocent...did you even listen to the evidence presented (probably not,Keyboard Warrior)?
He was found liable. Are you deaf?
Lawrence should be awarded court fees and damages for his character being tarnished due to the court hearing and the outcome of the MdGregor trial.
no one believed him.
@ and that’s got what to do with the decision that was reached?
Ur Joking, Lawrence lied through his teeth to provide a 'defence' for McGregor and both the Judge and Jury agreed this.
@ no I’m not joking, he was cleared. You bring a court hearing and lose then you pay.
@@ZOOTV-1976 He was not cleared, the judge openly said he didn't believe his evidence that he had sex with Ms Hand after the rape. He made that allegation on Jan 17th, i'm wondering is that went the defense were given the forensic evidence. Just a hunch.
Terry- is this not outside the judges wheelhouse. Isnt he supposed to go on the jury decision- guilty or not? Is that not a reach to come to that conclusion ? making up his own opinion on events? Also did she not sue him ? And is mr mcgregor not allowed his opinions on the case ?
Costs are in the Judge's wheelhouse. That is what he was ruling on today and he explained why he made the ruling he did, based on what the jury found. Senior counsel for both sides were making claims for what the jury verdict meant. The judge did not buy their contentions, he disagreed. And he is the judge.
judge rules! (Jimmy 5 Times does not)
Ireland's worst export
I call bullsh1t! Nikita just wants the money!
I'm glad that McGregor has to pay costs. I believe Nikita in her claim.
4and a half million how can you understand that guy.Any way the Barristers mad a killing as per usual.Sloppy seconds,I’m talking about the solicitors.Haha give your head a shake.
Hi Terry, am i right in saying that Nikita has to pay the bill to her team for whatever they might charge her for her case V james as she lost that case, so she still has to pay her team for the hard work they did in her case V James ??
If they took the case on a 'no win, no fee' basis then she would not have to pay them. Because she didn't win against Lawrence.
Let's face it: it must have been on a 'no win, no fee basis' as she was not paying legal fees up front, too expensive.
Found innocent yet penalised as guilty..shameful decision..
This girl has been such a liar through out this case, her friend and 2 others are not being believed from someone who just replies I can't remember to any proven evidence such as cctv footage ,talk about strange it was 3 against one outta 4 that were together, all her texts to her boyfriend staying out for 3 days sniffing coke and drinking , what a Great mother she is, mentioning her daughter in her speech , she should've been saying don't be a dirty 3 day stop out drinking and taking drugs ,flirting men in her dress with photos, because that's what got me in this situation...never mind be strong believe in yourself ,she's an utter horror I wish her the worst ,and I hope the ex gets custody of the child.
friend? they worked in 2 salons 40km apart. barely knew each other. no woman involved in consensual activity needs medical care like that .
I’m a huge Conor hater and am enjoying his downfall but I must say the evidence doesn’t add up , this feels like a gone girl type of scenario, whether or not Conor did it this is karma for all the other bs he pulled lol 😂
The state are out to get connor. Why should Laurence be out money when he was found not guilty? She said she could not remember anything, yet she hauled him before the court accusing him of rape. Where is the law, Thats outrageous, this is really scary.
Because he wasn't found "not guilty".
And The State have nothing whatsoever to do with the Judiciary *in Ireland.* Nothing. The State has no interests whatsoever in *Civil* Cases. None!
Laurance is not out of money, McGregor is.
The only reason Laurence was in court is because HE said he had s3x with miss Hand.
Miss Hand said she had no memory of it and believed he was lying.
Did you even bother reading about the case or even watch this video?
McGregor was paying Lawrence's costs from the start. Lawrence's claim that he had that sort of activity with Hand was bogus from the start and made to make Hand look worse. Zero DNA from Lawrence found on hand despite his claims whereas McGregor's was all both her body and clothes. he had used all 3 jonnies bought on the Danielle woman.
Agree with you
Conor's out to sabotage his own life, there's no need for the State to to anything.
As for Mr, Lawrence, well he signed up to be part of this shitshow when he gave his statement to the Gardai.
As long as you're not being paid to say things that aren't true to Gardai and courts, and as long as you're not brutally assaulting the women you meet, you've nothing to be scared of.
Lawrence is done. No rules in Ireland
This is a rich mans punishment. If he didnt have money he wouldnt have been punished. Its a strange law that is different if you have money. Strange case all round. Mr Lawrence found guilty now by the judge.
I think it's BS that Hand doesn't have to pay Lawrence anything
he didn't even ride her in the first place. all lies from him.
Wow great breakdown, thank you 🙏 a wonderful result of an awful person abusing a woman.
When you really love someone ...
& Your Family .
mcgregor have pleny money never liked the man after he punched a old man in a pub over he s whisky
Will you get a grip, its incredible how gullible people are
yeah, it's literally on video
@huzcer you're a little bit on the slow side lol I said you're gullible for believing that man got a slap for not having a drink. He got a slap because of what he said to Conor, he called him a rapist and got a well deserved slap in the mouth for it
1.5 million ...any views ?
This figure includes all pre hearing costs, correspondence, pleadings, discovery, motions etc. And then 12 or 15 days in the High Court.
And Nikita Hand had 2 senior counsel, 1 junior and a firm of solicitors. The other guys had similar lineups.
So, it adds up..
Well done Nikita
Mc Gregor has no sympathy from me.
he doesnt care
Thanks Terry. The empire is in decline, the chickens appear to be coming home to roost....
Lawrence's claim that he had that sort of activity with Hand was bogus from the start and made to make Hand look worse. Zero DNA from Lawrence found on Hand despite his claims whereas McGregor's was on both her body and clothes. he had used all 3 jonnies bought on the Danielle woman. That's why the jury didn't put any credence on it.
Yep. I wonder if the DPP would have prosecuted McGregor if Lawrence hadn't spun that yarn to Gardai. It was a ruse, and it sort of worked while he remains without a criminal conviction.
The jury found against Hand, meaning she lied, not Lawrence.
@@rightiswrongrightiswrong806 Lawrence lied from the start about having s3x with Hand. The jury couldn't find him liable for SA like McGregor which was what the whole civil case was ACTUALLY about because he didn't even have s3x with her. it's not even that complicated.
@@rightiswrongrightiswrong806 the ACTUAL case was about being liable for assault by gape or not. McGregor was found liable for that by the jury. Lawrence could not be found liable for that because he didn't even have that activity with her in the first place.
Jimmy 5 Times is going to get locked up!
Cus deamato
I'd say Terry is sickened he didn't get a Piece of McGregor Pie
That comment says more about you than it does about Terry
@jeanmarie3258 What would it say about me exactly? That I don't agree with a Justice system lining up Hopeless Skanks to Financially rape a Tosser and exploit Naive Peoples Sympathies for a Solicitors Payday? McGregor might be a Rapist but his charges were dropped by the DPP in this case. White Collar Ambush Irish style
@@eddiestaunton514 ah so what. McGregor is scum and money won't make Nikita happy
@jeanmarie3258 What would it say now? A Civil Rape Claim not a DPP case
His life will change as much as mike tyson's- so not at all.
it has already changed. he might get a Jake Paul or some crappy UFC washed up fighter fight which is about the height of it but very few brands (if any) would touch him and his movie parts and invites to events are gone in the first case and very much diminished in the second case. his name is poo on a shoe.
Give it five minutes, he'll be back up as quick as Jimmy 5 Times
I bit conor Had really bad defenses he shall not be on stand while lawyers are present ... plus when this happened she was like what 25 yo ??? Like aint she adult to report for assault and whatever ra..
She playing games
She went with conor snd his friend snd video shows she was walking with them and teasing both men
For sure the big fish have to be thr victim of lies
On top of this she destroy his picture worldwide
Like for nothing
Conor shall be found not guilty
And shall be discharge or acquitted end of story
At least McGregor knows to keep his mouth shut about migrants in Ireland 🇮🇪🤔
Tell her mother that..the 8 yr old girls one.
excellent news. I always thought Lawrence was lying through his teeth. Lawrence boasting he would sue the pants off Nikita was typical of 2 very nasty men McGregor and Lawrence!
what would you expect from a loser living with his ma
IM DELIGHTED TO HEAR THIS GREAT NEWS TERRY!MCG NEEDS TO LEARN A SEVERE LESSON & STOP MOUTHING! NIKITA HAND SUFFERED ENOUGH! WELL DONE TERRY GREAT WORK! YOUR DOING AMAZING WORK IM LEARNING A LOT FROM YOUR VIDEOS! THANK YOU! KEEP SAFE & WELL.
