Kris Miller, Courier, 04/07/12. Picture today Liz McColgan Health Club shows Liz McColgan for new column.
Legal action against Dundee Olympic star Liz McColgan has been dropped.
The track legend was being pursued by Dundee High School for an amount understood to be almost £10,000. An unpaid debt is believed to have been the cause of the legal action, which was also being taken against Liz’s ex-husband Peter McColgan.
The High School’s civil case against Ms McColgan 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.
The Olympic medalist said that she had always been confident she did not have a case to answer.
“I had no responsibility for it anyway so I’ve never really been concerned about it,” she said.
“It’s just over and done with now.”
A hearing into Ms McColgan’s case had been due at Arbroath Sheriff Court later this month.
A spokeswoman for the court said: “The proof on April 12 has been discharged and the action has been dismissed in relation to Dundee High School v Elizabeth McColgan.”
It is understood that no expenses are due by her or the High School in relation to the case.
