Burglary charges against Wallaby and Reds star Quade Cooper have been dropped by a Gold Coast court.
Cooper had been charged with burglary and there were allegations that he stole two laptops which could have de-railed his career.
However the 22 year old Cooper did not appear in Southport Magistrates Court where police offered no evidence against him and the charges were dropped.
The original incident was alleged to have taken place at a residence in Surfers Paradise on December the 6th shortly after Cooper had returned from touring with the Wallabies.
Cooper's lawyers said the withdrawal of the charge followed completion of a justice mediation process with the complainants, which was conducted through the Department of Justice and Attorney-General.
Director of Chesterfield Lawyers, Dan McManus, said mediation was an accepted part of the Queensland justice system.
"It can only take place with the willing participation and consent of all parties, including the Queensland Police Service," he told AAP.
"Justice mediation is a confidential process and the parties cannot elaborate on the content or details of the events nor the process which has led to this outcome."
