But the legal battle is not yet over for the Browns as they are now pursuing a claim for compensation against Wickes, who have yet to admit liability in a civil court.
Then in a different court they can go back to denying it??? WTF?
I mean, if someone is not found guilty in a criminal court, then a following civil suit would obviously have to be fully contested, but in this case the only thing I can see them argue about is the level of compensation, NOT the issue of liability itself.
