Manchester Arena survivors win harassment case

Two Manchester Arena attack survivors have won a High Court harassment case against a man who claimed the attack was staged.

Former television producer Richard Hall was sued by survivors Martin Hibbert and his daughter Eve for harassment and data protection.

The attack left Martin Hibbert with a spinal cord injury and Eve Hibbert with brain damage.

Hall argued that his actions, such as filming Eve outside her home, were in the public interest. Hall claimed that several of those who died were living abroad or were dead before the attack and that no one was genuinely injured in the bombing.

The Hibberts won the harassment claim, but Mrs Justice Steyn said she would not decide the data protection claim at this stage.
