No salary cap breaches in Premiership
Although Premiership Rugby confirmed "certain issues" were pursued with some Premiership clubs last season in relation to the salary cap, McCafferty's organisation are adamant they "have now resolved the issues identified and have entered into appropriate confidential settlements".
Speculation raged in recent months that at least three Premiership clubs might have broken last season's salary cap limit of just under £5 million (US$7.6 million).
But Premiership Rugby said in a statement: "Over the last few months, there has been speculation, much of it significantly inaccurate, concerning investigations into clubs.
"Premiership Rugby can confirm that certain issues were pursued last season with some clubs relating to access to information, and to commercial contracts where there were differences of opinion as to the correct inclusion or not in the salary cap spend.
"The issues were not straightforward and were subject to differing legal opinion and consequent risk as to any judgment on the correct interpretation.
"Premiership Rugby and the clubs have now resolved the issues identified and have entered into appropriate confidential settlements."
