Australian swimming great Grant Hackett is suing his lawyers over a costly pre-nuptial agreement after his marriage ended with a drunken rampage.
After five years together, Hackett and Candice Alley split in May. He had trashed his apartment the previous October in an alcohol-fuelled blowout, prompting his wife to call the police. "As a result of the breaches... the Plaintiff (Hackett) has suffered loss including legal costs," legal documents lodged by Hackett in the Supreme Court of Victoria said, according to News Limited newspapers. "The Plaintiff's loss is continuing." The newspapers said Hackett's personal fortune was estimated at some A$8 million (US$8.3 million) and he was seeking a finding of negligence against his solicitors along with compensation.
