(Sky News) Two survivors of the Manchester Arena attack have won their harassment case against a conspiracy theorist who claims the bombing was “staged.”
Former television producer Richard Hall has claimed without evidence that the attack at an Ariana Grande concert in 2017 was an “elaborate hoax” by British government agencies and that no one was “genuinely injured.”
Martin Hibbert and his daughter Eve, who were both severely injured in the explosion, brought legal proceedings against Mr Hall for harassment and data protection, with a civil trial taking place in July.
High Court judge Mrs Justice Steyn said in a written ruling today that the claimants succeeded in their harassment claim, adding that she would not decide the data protection claim at this stage.
