Garcia v Associated Newspapers Ltd [2014] EWHC 3137 (QB), [2014] All ER (D) 57 (Oct)
The Queen’s Bench Division awarded the claimant doctor £45,000 by way of damages for libel, following the publication of an article in the Daily Mail and Mail Online. The court held that the defamatory statements made about the claimant had not been justified, the facts and matters on which the comments had been made, had not been proved and the article could not be defended as honest comment.
