Plans to build a new stadium at Bath Rugby's historic home have taken a major step forward following a victory in court this week for the Premiership club.
On Tuesday (October 18) the Supreme Court refused an application seeking to appeal the ruling of the Court of Appeal of February 4 this year, allowing Bath Rugby to proceed with its planned redevelopment of its facilities at The Rec.
It brings to an end the long-running legal case relating to the 1922 covenants and paves the way for Bath Rugby to bring forward proposals for a new stadium.
