* RICHMOND and former president Clinton Casey have avoided a potential court battle, settling their legal dispute with former forward Ben Holland.
Holland, 31, has received what is believed to be a six-figure out-of-court settlement from the Tigers and their former president.
It's understood the club brokered a settlement after mediation and has forked out as little as $50,000 to end the dispute
The AFL also signed off on the settlement to avoid any salary cap ramifications.
Tigers president Gary March this week confirmed the matter had been finalised.
``We're very pleased we can put it behind us and all move forward,'' March said.
The dispute spilled over when Holland began proceedings to sue the Tigers and Casey through the Supreme Court in October 2007, claiming he was owed more than half a million dollars.
He claimed that in 2001 Casey promised him $530,000 in business and investment opportunities if he stayed with the Tigers instead of accepting from Adelaide.
The amount was the difference between an $800,000 contract offered by Richmond compared with a $1.3 million offer from the Crows.
The controversial deal could have had salary cap ramifications.
Talks broke down in October, but the Tigers stepped in. ``We met for mediation before Christmas and resolved it amicably,'' March said.
The settlement comes at the end of a busy time for Holland.
Now retired, he was involved in a fracas with former Demons' teammate Nathan Carroll after a drinking session at the end of 2008 which lead to Carroll's exit from the Demons and calls to ban Mad Monday celebrations.
lmao at those who said it was all rubbish & that he get nothing, eat poo
Shows how stupid & a badly run football club Richmond really has been over the last 10 years
Letting Holland go to another club & we payed dearly in the end again.
There are more ugly deals that will be payed out behind closed doors to players who stayed to get rich & gave nothing what they were worth
would have been better paying Ottens what he wanted lol
