Default Countdown's Rachel Riley awarded £50,000 in libel damages

Good Lawyer.


Countdown's Rachel Riley awarded
£50,000 in libel damages from political blogger


[Mike Sivier lost the libel case after
arguing his article was in the public interest,
Political blogger Mike Sivier published
an article on his website Vox Political
in January 2019
with the headline: "Serial abuser Rachel Riley
to receive 'extra protection' - on the grounds
that she is receiving abuse".

The article referred to an online debate
Ms Riley, 36, took part in about antisemitism
in the Labour Party.

During the Twitter debate she exchanged
some messages with a user who later
identified herself as a 16-year-old girl called Rose.

A judge previously found Mr Sivier's article would
lead people to believe Ms Riley
"engaged upon, supported and
encouraged a campaign of online abuse
and harassment of a 16-year-old girl",
which is not true.]
