However the Tribunal determined that under Operational Rule C1:3:12(a) Hull FC had relinquished their entitlement to compensation because the terms of the new contract they had offered Briscoe were less favourable than his previous contract.
Leeds Rhinos Chief Executive Gary Hetherington commented, "The Hull FC Chairman Adam Pearson made some serious allegations against me and Leeds Rhinos including a demand for compensation.
"Today's tribunal brings to an end a three month long RFL investigation into those allegations, all of which have been dismissed as having no basis. I am naturally pleased with this outcome."
