Supreme Court asked to hear Conor McGregor appeal
Conor McGregor lost his appeal on all grounds in July and now seeks Supreme Court review, highlighting constitutional rights and legal cost disputes in high-profile civil litigation.
- Following the Court of Appeal's dismissal of their July 2025 challenge, Conor McGregor and James Lawrence instructed Mulholland Law to submit a request for permission to bring their case before the Supreme Court.
- McGregor’s appeal disputes the verdict reached by the civil jury regarding the allegations made by Nikita Hand, emphasizing that his constitutional right to remain silent was allegedly misapplied in the lower courts.
- The jury found McGregor civilly liable for raping Hand in November 2024 in a south Dublin hotel and awarded her just under £250,000 plus about £1.1 million in legal costs.
- Solicitor Ciarán Mulholland called the Appeal Court’s refusal to award Lawrence costs “unprecedented and frightening,” asserting serious legal issues require Supreme Court clarification.
- The Supreme Court will decide whether to hear the appeals based on public interest and justice while Gardaí continue investigating allegations of perjury related to McGregor’s withdrawn evidence.
