James Hird loses bid to have Essendon's insurer

Former Essendon coach James Hird has lost a Victorian Supreme Court bid to have the club's insurer pay for the legal costs of his failed challenge against the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA).
Hird sued the AFL club's insurer, Chubb Insurance, after it refused to pay his legal costs for the challenge in 2014 and a subsequent appeal a year later.
Chubb Insurance had argued Hird should pay the bill of almost $700,000 as he took ASADA to court, even though it did not accuse him of wrongdoing.
Supreme Court Justice Kim Hargrave dismissed Hird's claim due to his failure to establish any of his claims on the policy.
