So much WTF in this case.
>“Because he [Wright] advanced a deliberately false case and put forward deliberately false evidence until days before trial, he will recover only nominal damages,” wrote Justice Chamberlain.
Judge: You lied repeatedly to this court, you win.

> The issue of Nakamoto’s identity was not covered by the judge’s ruling because McCormack had earlier abandoned a defence of truth in his case
why the hell?
- cafard 4y agoUnder English law, truth is not a defense against a complaint of libel. This is why over the years a lot of offended parties have chosen to sue in England rather than the US. (In case it's not clear from this, I don't know the rules of libel in the rest of the UK; but it seems to me that the venue shoppers have ended up in London.)
