David Warner Secures Legal Victory Against Former Bat Sponsor
Australia’s opening batsman David Warner has recently secured a legal victory against his former bat sponsor, Spartan Sports. Prior to the second Ashes Test, the 36-year-old was awarded a settlement of $420,000 in the Sydney District Court.
Warner Sued Spartan Sports Over Unpaid Fees
Warner had sued the Beaches-based company for unpaid sponsorship fees. According to reports in Daily Mail, Judge Matthew Dicker instructed the two companies that ran Spartan Sports, namely Spartan Sports Corporation and SS Management (Australia), to pay the cricketer $382,940 as the base price that was claimed by him.
Extra Amount Paid in Interest
In addition to the base price, an extra amount of $39,786 was also paid in interest that had been accumulating since Warner first sued the company in 2022. The two parties had entered into a multi-year deal in 2018, but it seems the agreement did not go as planned.
Conclusion
David Warner has emerged victorious in his legal battle against Spartan Sports. The Sydney District Court awarded him a settlement of $420,000, which included the base price of $382,940 and an extra amount of $39,786 in interest. The two parties had signed a multi-year agreement in 2018, but the arrangement did not turn out as expected.
