MacGill was initially seeking AU$2.6 million (USD 2.06 million), including AU$1.6 million (USD 1.27 million) in match payments, prize money and retainers, and nearly AU$1 million (USD 800,000) in interest. He later amended his statement of claim to just over AU$800,000.

MacGill played 44 Test matches for Australia and claimed 208 wickets. His last Test was in 2008 on a tour of the West Indies.
