Graham Atkins Solicitor 6

  Our programme, "The Price of Blood", broadcast on 8 October 2006, reported on an unsuccessful prosecution in Italy of Paolo and Guelfo Marcucci, the owners of the Marcucci group of companies which included, at the time, the biopharmaceutical company Sclavo SpA. Graham Atkins Solicitor It was not our intention to allege in the programme that the Marcuccis had sold or distributed blood derivative products that were infected with HIV and Hepatitis C, or which were likely to be infected. Nor did we intend to suggest that as a result they had endangered lives. We accept that these allegations are untrue and regret any impression we gave to the contrary. We have apologised to the Marcuccis and agreed to pay damages and their legal costs.

  Two years after winning Big Brother in 2007, Essex lad Brian Belo came up with an idea for a fly-on-the-wall documentary. It would feature all his rich mates and detail their glamorous lives, lavish spending and love of excess. And to get it off the ground, he rounded up Sam Faiers, Mark Wright, Kirk Norcross and Amy Childs to shoot a trailer for the show – Totally Essex. Graham Atkins Solicitor In the epic video, semi-professional footballer turned night club promoter Mark was seen bragging about buying £5,000 rounds and his pulling prowess. He gloated: “We’re not an ugly bunch of boys either so we don’t even need to pull out that [money] as much, but the fact that we’ve got that, and we’re good looking, the girls just fly in. “Just all round our table, on our laps, I probably couldn’t tell you one week or one night of the year we go home empty handed.” A 21-year-old Kirk showed the cameras around his dad’s sprawling manor house estate and his own pad, boasting abo...

  Who? Graham Atkins , 46, founding partner of media specialists Atkins Thomson.Why is he in the news? Represented psychic Sally Morgan in her successful libel action against the publisher of the  Daily Mail . The newspaper had accused her of using a hidden earpiece during a Dublin show to receive instructions from her team which she then repeated on stage. The newspaper accepted this was untrue and settled for £125,000 just prior to trial – one of the largest ever pre-action awards. Thoughts on the case:  ‘As a psychic, you will always get sceptics and people questioning your integrity, but that is far from a newspaper with enormous circulation saying you have cheated, which can ruin your reputation entirely. The allegation came from a radio phone-in when two ladies said they heard instructions through an open window at the rear of the theatre being repeated on stage. But there was no proof despite the Mail spending 18 months trying to uncover evidence.’ Dealing wi...

  Paper apologises over article making untrue allegation that Sally Morgan used hidden earpiece to scam theatre audience. The Daily Mail has apologised and agreed to pay £125,000 in libel damages to a TV psychic it falsely accused of using a hidden earpiece to scam a theatre audience. Sally Morgan, who has appeared on TV and on stage under the name "Psychic Sally", complained that the article in September 2011 meant she had "deliberately and dishonestly" tricked her audience in Dublin. The article, by the magician Paul Zenon, claimed that Morgan had used a hidden earpiece during her performance in order to receive instructions and relay them on stage as if they were messages from the spiritual world. In a statement at the high court on Thursday, the solicitor for Morgan, Graham Atkins of the law firm Atkins Thomson, said the article had "caused enormous distress" to the psychic. "The allegation contained in the article that Mrs Morgan cheat...

  The former partner of playwright Anthony Shaffer has accepted substantial undisclosed damages from a newspaper that reported she had pretended to have a relationship with him so she could claim on his estate. Marie Capece Minutolo, a sculptor and businesswoman, sued London's  Evening Standard  newspaper over the July 2002 article, which claimed that rather than being Shaffer's partner, she was simply his research assistant. Ms Minutolo's lawyer, Graham Atkins , told the High Court that Ms Minutolo had lived with Shaffer, author of Sleuth, from 1998 until his sudden death in London in November 2001. Mr Atkins said it was entirely untrue to suggest, as the  Evening Standard  did, that Ms Minutolo had pretended to have had a relationship. Minutolo and Shaffer had a "serious and loving" relationship for several years, he said.

  The Evening Standard has printed a sympathetic two-page feature about a dead playwright’s mistress as part of a libel deal which cost the paper an estimated £100,000. The unusual settlement saw the Standard agree to write the piece, with copy approval for the complainant, instead of publishing an apology. Jo Capece Minutolo was the mistress of playwright Anthony Shaffer, whose filmed works included Sleuth and The Wicker Man. After his death in November 2001, a legal wrangle resulted in Minutolo failing to get a share of the writer’s estate. She sued the Standard after it published an article on 10 July 2002 that suggested she was “an opportunist who had deliberately pretended to have had a relationship with Anthony Shaffer when in fact she was merely a hired researcher”. A statement agreed in open court said: “This suggestion is entirely untrue.” The paper agreed to pay Minutolo damages of £35,000; when both sides’ legal bills are included the cost to the paper is likely to reach...

  DON’T GIVE UP ON HIM, BABY: It has been a rough 22 years for David Soul. His acting career peaked as the “Hutch” part of Starksy and Hutch from 1975-79. The most notable result of his singing career was Don’t Give Up On Us, a song that often makes compilation albums called Most Annoying Ballads of the Late 20th Century. There were the requisite battles with “personal demons.” And he most recently spent time in a London court suing a newspaper critic for calling a Soul-starring play the worst thing he had seen in the West End, even though he hadn’t actually seen it. Soul, 58, sued Matthew Wright of the Mirror for libel over a review of the 1998 play The Dead Monkey. Soul’s lawyer,  Graham Atkins , told the High Court that Wright sent a freelance journalist to see the play for him, and the review contained several factual errors, the Associated Press and Reuters reported. Soul on Tuesday was awarded $29,000 in damages plus legal costs, which the newspaper estimated at ...
