Joel Stransky v Bristol Rugby Club

A high court action brought by the former South Africa international Joel Stransky, who successfully argued that the club reneged on an agreement to offer him a coaching job two years ago. Mr Justice Eady awarded Stransky over £150,000 for loss of earnings and compensation after ruling that a meeting between the South African and officials from Bristol at a restaurant in Bath in April 2000 resulted in the offer of a contract of employment.
