MMA fighter seeking retrial of High Court civil action taken by Nikita Hand
Conor McGregor seeks to introduce new evidence from two people in his appeal of a civil rape case finding, aiming for a retrial. He argues the court needs this evidence to properly assess the appeal, while the opposing side wants the appeal to proceed based on already filed grounds. The court will determine the admissibility of the new evidence before moving forward. McGregor's appeal claims include errors in the trial judge's conduct and directions, specifically regarding the definition of "assault" versus "sexual assault." This follows a jury awarding €248,603 damages to Nikita Hand after finding she was assaulted by McGregor in 2018.
