Dale Vince libel claim against Daily Mail publisher thrown out by High Court

Green energy industrialist Dale Vince’s libel claim against the publisher of the Daily Mail has been thrown out by a High Court judge.

The article, printed in June last year, was headlined “Labour repays £100,000 to ‘sex harassment’ donor” and reported that the Labour Party was handing back money to donor Davide Serra, while also referencing fellow donor Mr Vince. A hearing in London in February was told that Mr Vince was “seriously defamed” by the article’s headline, image and captions, as they made readers think he was the subject of the allegations.

In a ruling on Monday, Judge Jaron Lewis struck out Mr Vince’s claim, stating that it was “not potentially viable” and “bound to fail”.
