KRW Law and its partners sued after an article written by Sir Brandon Lewis was published in 2022.
A Belfast-based law firm has settled its defamation action against former Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis over comments about Troubles legacy legislation.
At the time, it offered potential amnesties to individuals suspected of conflict-era crimes, but this section of the act has since been ruled unlawful. But it was announced at the High Court in Belfast that both sides have agreed to settle the libel claim.A statement read by Desmond Fahy KC, representing KRW Law, confirmed the case related to a piece written by Sir Brandon in his capacity at the time as secretary of state and published on the Conservative Home website.
