Best wishes for this holiday season and we hope you had a positive 2023 and will enjoy an even better 2024.
Some of you may know that a year ago a convicted fraudster, whose case was published on this site, pursued a totally unmerited High Court claim that was dismissed in its entirety after a one-day contested trial.
A year on that fraudster, who habitually and falsely complained that the editor of this site did not comply with High Court rulings, has continued to ignore one of the most important of all – the payment of costs.
Identified only as “Ms C” during the trial (what an appropriate title) the highly-respected Mr Justice Griffiths said of her: “Ms C now denies that she was dishonest or guilty. She is stating a false case....”
Since the ruling this editor's conduct has been quoted in legal texts and in advice to professional journalists as to how conduct oneself regarding accuracy; evidence gathering and retention of records.
A tremendous amount of time and work was committed to defending this false claim and thousands of pounds in costs are still owed by “Ms C” to the editor.
“Ms C” was fanatical about adhering to court orders during this case, but does not seem so keen on obeying this one.
Funny that, isn't it?
Best Wishes, Editor.
Congratulations on your efforts in 2023 and look forward to reading more court news in 2024. It is a real feather in your cap that your case is being used academically to ensure journalists of the future have a robust approach to record taking and keeping!
