Dale Vince libel claim against Daily Mail publisher thrown out by High Court

The green energy industrialist sued Associated Newspapers Limited over an article published in June 2023.

Green energy industrialist Dale Vince’s libel claim against the publisher of the Daily Mail has been thrown out by a High Court judge.

An employment tribunal in 2022 heard that Mr Serra had made sexist comments to a female colleague which were found to amount to unlawful harassment related to sex. In a ruling on Monday, Judge Jaron Lewis struck out Mr Vince’s claim, stating that it was “not potentially viable” and “bound to fail”. He added: “The claim is not potentially viable, and there is no basis for exercising discretion in the claimant’s favour.”

The article was also published the previous evening on The Mail+, the paper’s online subscription platform.
