Two survivors of the Manchester Arena bombing have won a High Court harassment case against a former television producer who claimed the attack was staged.
Martin Hibbert and his daughter Eve sued Richard Hall for harassment and data protection over controversial claims he made in several videos and a book.
Mr Hibbert was left with a spinal cord injury and Ms Hibbert suffered severe brain damage as a result of the attack at the venue on 22 May 2017.
Mr Hall had told the High Court his actions, which included filming Eve outside her home, were in the public interest as a journalist and claimed “millions of people” had “bought a lie” about the attack.
In a 63-page judgment, Mrs Justice Steyn said the Hibberts had won their harassment claim, but said she would not decide the data protection claim at this stage.
