Minister wins case against newspaper
Sports Minister Andrew Morgan won his court case today against The Globe.
The newspaper claimed in March this year that Mr. Morgan had used taxpayers’ money to buy his new luxury apartment in London.
Mr. Morgan refused to admit doing anything illegal and said he would speak to his lawyers the following day. Although some of his political colleagues had advised him not to take The Globe to court. Mr. Morgan decided against taking their advice. His lawyers supported his decision and today Judge Simmonds ordered the new spaper to pay the Minster €250.000. After the case we asked Mr. Morgan how he felt about the result, and he told us he was delighted. When asked what his plans were now.
Mr. Morgan said he would be at work the following day as usual.
