Damages

edit

Copied from the main SB article's Talk page. Basically, I suspect the damages are £15k, although of course the legal costs push up what she's having to cough up into the unpleasant category:

Not sure why Lord McAlpine would allow her to accept the £15k offer that was made back in January, before she forced him to drag her to court, but it's looking a little like he might have. The Express quotes his solicitor talking as if the offer has been accepted by both sides,[1] but then goes on to contradict itself the following day by saying she's facing £50k damages.[2] The Independent mentions £15k and also talks of some of the £100k legal bill being offset by insurance.[3]Bromley86 (talk) 13:46, 26 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
