Jan Fletcher reaches deal with Leeds City Council over arena challenge costs
It is understood a deal has been agreed in principle for a £2m settlement of Leeds City Council’s costs.
Last month, the case was adjourned at Harrogate County Court for Ms Fletcher to have more time to bring a suitable payment proposal to the table, after earlier hearings heard she had yet to put forward an offer that the council deems to be credible.
