A class action is being brought against players from the
Australian and English cricket teams.
The
civil suit is being filed after the sides took turns capitulating, and failed
to complete anywhere near the 25 days of cricket they were paid to provide.
There were only 50 sessions of cricket
played during the 2015 Ashes out of a possible 75. With only a third of the
scheduled overs bowled, everyone from advertisers to ground staff, even the
general public, are suing the sides for loss of revenue, income and
entertainment.
Both Cricket Australia and the ECB say
that their hands are tied in the matter, unable to help their players given the
disastrous lack of contests.
“Let’s face it,” a Cricket Australian
spokesperson stated, “they’ve only completed a third of their job, and unless
you’re a politician that’s just unacceptable.”
The players even received a barb from
the commentary box with microphones managing to pick up another Shane Warne
nugget, who exclaimed that he’s actually had relationships which have lasted
longer than this series.
Ashley Madison facing massive lawsuit ‘on behalf of all Canadians’
Two law firms in Canada have launched a $578 million
class-action lawsuit against Ashley
Madison — saying they
were doing so on behalf of “all Canadians” who have been affected by the hack
that exposed millions of cheaters worldwide.
“They
are outraged that AshleyMadison.com failed to protect its users’ information,”
said attorney Ted Charney, who filed the suit last Thursday. “In many cases,
the users paid an additional fee for the website to remove all of their user
data — only to discover that the information was left intact and exposed.”
The
data breach exposed some 39 million members.
