Liz McColgan court action dismissed

A COURT action against Scottish Olympic and Commonwealth Games legend Liz McColgan has been dismissed.

The track star was being pursued by Dundee High School for an amount understood to be almost £10,000, along with her former husband Peter.

However, the fee-paying school’s civil case has now been dismissed.

The move comes after Mr McColgan was decreed to pay £9,119.25 to Dundee High School.

He must pay the sum by the middle of September this year.

Ms McColgan said she had been confident she did not have a case to answer.

She said: “I had no responsibility for it anyway so I’ve never really been concerned about it.

“It’s just over and done with now.”

A hearing had been due to take place at Arbroath Sheriff Court later this month.

A court spokeswoman said: “The proof has been discharged and the action dismissed.”
