Cases

Tierney v News Group Newspapers Ltd (No.2) (Costs)

Facts

The Claimant sues upon allegations published in The Sun that she was the granny prostitute known as the "Auld Slapper" who slept with Wayne Rooney in return for money. The defence was justification. McCombe J ordered that a costs cap be imposed upon the costs recoverable by the Claimant. Costs Judge Campbell set the costs cap. The Claimant appealed on the basis that he set the level too low.
