..'I shall be happy to congratulate them, too.'

Doubt so.
-- answer removed --
Well, if any of them ever do, please be sure to point it out to me so that I can oblige you by offering my sincere congratulations, won't you?
I shall make it my life's ambition.
Jolly good.
it seems Jack ( she IS a girl right ? ) Monroe had pleaded details of damage rather than it could have been damage

£24k seems rather low in comparison to the good old days

"Can of worms opened. Judge must be a half-wit."
oh dear the habit of cursing judges who make decisions that displease someone cannot die soon enough

If you think about it - half the clients in a civil case will think the judge is a 'bad judge' - the losing half most of the time
I do so hope that the £24,000, will go a long way in quickly healing the real and substantial distress, and also harm to her reputation, that Ms Monroe has so horribly been suffering from?
seems odd that asking a question is enough to prove defamation.
It was the implication within the question that was considered defamatory.

I know that KH is a poster-girl for some on the Right but surely you can't be so blind as to want to let her get away with things like this just because you disapprove of her targets?
// spreading malicious falsehoods is.//

o dear spreading malicious falsehood IS a civil wrong ( tort ) but is different to Libel
( and very bad = more money )
you have to show the statement is wrong AND there was malicious intent

and we know that Ms Hopkins didnt meant to and was confused ....
24K for a load of publicity and winding up a load of lefties seems good value to me.

Mickey I see the Ghastly word has appeared again, I thought that was your UKIP label?
£107,000 costs as well.
No surprise that lefty pea brains with the help of the doddery establishment try to shut down anyone who shows their stupidity up.
//I know that KH is a poster-girl for some on the Right//

You are joking right?

I think you will find she 'appeals' to those that dont want to kow-tow to the liberal elite and all they stand for. So they will be people left and right. Polpulist if you like.
To be fair Sam she shold have apologised over the mistake.

As AH has said we all do it but most on here are gracious enough to admit they got it wrong and apologise (and mean it).
£107k costs on account. Full costs to be decided later.

Sam...let me get this right .....the Law has seen it right to castigate Hopkins, but you disagree because you are a fan of Hopkins....is that correct ?
.// seems odd that asking a question is enough to prove defamation.//3T

Not really

"Sometimes a statement may not be defamatory on the face of it but contain an innuendo, which has a defamatory meaning. Such a statement may be actionable. The hidden meaning must be one that could be understood from the words themselves by people who knew the claimant (Lewis v Daily Telegraph [1964] AC 234) and must be specifically pleaded by the claimant."


libel is a complex area where the London lawyers make lots and lots of lovely munnay !

YMB - //To be fair Sam she shold have apologised over the mistake.

Absolutely.

Anyone can get carried away sitting at a keyboard (tell me about it!)

But being advised that you have overstepped the mark and offered a chance to out it right, and being too arrogant and pig-headed to comply, means you deserve what you get.

I would guess that because this was on TwitFace, that Ms. Hopkins has been sued as a private individual, and will not have the bottomless pockets of her tabloid employers to pay out for her.
That's about the size of it, mikey, and?
Yes PP, only the lawyers ever win each time in these cases.
