Overview

• Master Mark Gidden told the High Court that future legal fees have been agreed at £2,217,967, with £1,217,880 allocated to Cat Jarman and £1,000,087 to Countess Karen Spencer.
• Cat Jarman alleges that the Countess improperly shared her private multiple sclerosis diagnosis, leading her to file a High Court claim in October 2024.
• Jarman says she revealed her MS publicly in a newspaper interview to halt online speculation and reclaim control of her medical information.
• Countess Spencer argues that Jarman’s voluntary disclosure of her condition undermines the basis of her privacy suit and nullifies its purpose.
• The case continues in London’s High Court amid contested legal fees and wider questions about the bounds of medical confidentiality.
