Former cricketer Stuart MacGill could face trial
The former bowler is suing Cricket Australia for $2.6 million, and has been told he needs legal representation.
"We can confirm the case has been dismissed," a CA spokesman said.
CA would not disclose details of the settlement.
MacGill, who played 44 Tests and claimed 208 wickets at 29.01, had claimed CA had neglected or failed to pay him injury payments over a two-year period from May 2008 when he was unable to play Test cricket because of injury. He played the last of his Tests on the 2008 tour of the West Indies.
In his writ lodged in January, 2015, MacGill said he had endured several injuries through his career, including an ankle bone fracture, cartilage damage to his right knee, nerve damage affecting both hands and wrists, bone fracture to right elbow, finger pain in both hands and rotator cuff displacement in his right bowling shoulder.
The $2.6 million claim came from $1.6 million in lost match payments and prizemoney, and almost $1 million in interest, plus costs.
A nervous MacGill had represented himself at Monday's directions hearing in the Victorian Supreme Court before Justice Michael McDonald where he had sought court-ordered mediation. To do that, he needed to secure a solicitor, which Justice McDonald had encouraged him to do.
