Just seen that the £107,000 was to be paid on account and not total and so full cost to La Hopkins will be closer to or possibly over quarter of a million.
I used to do libel work but gave it up for the more esoteric world of reinsurance law 35 years ago, primarily because it is very often vanity litigation; vanity of some disreputable people who sued and vanity among journalists who were sued. Massaging people's ego for a living has its limitations.
That said, there are some cases which need to be fought. This is certainly one of them.
