Lawyers representing more than 800 Liverpool supporters who suffered injury and trauma in the chaos of the Champions League final last May have formally written to Uefa threatening to take legal action unless full compensation is paid.
Leigh Day, one of the three firms who are representing almost 3,000 people caught up in the catastrophic disorganisation at the Stade de France in Paris, argue that the supporters are entitled to compensation for their physical and psychological injuries under French law. If Uefa does not accept it is liable for the safety failures at the final between Liverpool and Real Madrid, or fails to agree compensation, Leigh Day has warned that it will bring a claim in the high court in Liverpool.
