Apology to Paolo and Guelfo Marcucci - Graham Atkins Solicitor

 

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. Read more----->>>>>>

TOWIE's scandalous start - Big Brother star claimed TV execs 'stole' his cast and idea

Image
  Big Brother winner Brian Belo even made a trailer for Totally Essex, featuring Mark Wright, Amy Childs, Sam Faiers and Kirk Norcross. 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. In the epic video, semi-professional footballer turned night club promoter Mark was seen bragging about buying £5,000 rounds and his pulling prowess. Graham Atkins Solicitor "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 about dropping £1,500 on drinks for his mate...

Daily Mail to pay £125,000 libel damages over TV psychic 'scam' claim - Graham Atkins Solicitor

  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...

Standard runs feature in £100k libel deal

Image
  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...
