Irregardless, Hird could of realised the affect his litigious nature would have on his bank. Literally everyone other then Hird seems to understand this.

Beautiful one day, perfect the next!
Is it just me, or is it Hird's argument that some bloke (Young) reckoned Hird had a real good show, and Middleton was full of it? And therefore, Chubb should pay.
Pretty much.
It looks as though Chubb covers you defending yourself.
Hird is arguing that although he was attacking, he was only doing so in order to defend himself.
And it wasn't frivolous, as his lawyers reckoned it was a monty - as long as they copped judges that were as stupid as they were.
I might use this argument with a bookie on my next losing bet.
"But me mate reckoned it couldn't lose!"
So if Hird loses this one, then appeals it because the judge is full of it, will he then sue Chubb again for not paying out the costs of the current case against Chubb?

"But counsel for Chubb say Hird's decision to take ASADA to court was pre-emptive and attacked an investigation in which no charges had been laid.
"There's not a hint of any concern that he would be charged, or that anybody would allege anything against him," James Peters QC told a Victorian Supreme Court civil trial on Wednesday.
While Chubb's policy allowed for reasonable defence in formal investigations, that coverage did not include Hird's attempts to stop ASADA's investigation in the Federal Court, Mr Peters said.
"The wording speaks about matters that are natural, where Mr Hird is a defendant, not a protagonist to protect his reputation," the barrister said.
While being cross-examined on Tuesday, Hird said he launched legal action against ASADA - even though he risked being sacked by the club for doing so - because he was worried about his job, the players and his reputation.
Hird's cross-examination supports Chubb's submissions the coach's actions were not part of a reasonable defence, Mr Peters said.
"We say that's not a reasonable expense, to protect a reputation," he said on Wednesday."

Don't know how Hird can sit in court and say he was worried about players.
How can he be so sure that his action was not futile if he has no idea what drugs were injected.

Might I recommend Troublesome Words by Mr Bryson?

And an almost fanatical devotion to Hird.
It's odd that there's suggestion that the same media organisation that inexplicably is the only entity to settle with Dank, is the same one that is being suggested as sorting out Hird's legal bill.

Hard to prosecute players if the evidence they had was deemed illegal and could not be used.
Like the current appeal, win on a technicality...
