Richard Roth of New York legal firm Roth Law is behind Harvey’s £132 million lawsuit over her alleged portrayal as a convicted stalker in Baby Reindeer.
The US lawyer representing Scotswoman Fiona Harvey in a lawsuit against Netflix has described Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd’s awards recognition as “an abomination” while insisting his client will not settle the case.
Gadd, 35, from Wormit, Fife, is being recognised at the BAFTA Scotland bash in Glasgow tonight. He’ll also collect one of GQ’s Men of the Year awards on Tuesday for his mini-series which attracted 65 million viewers for Netflix.

Harvey, from Aberdeenshire, is suing Netflix for defamation. She is seeking £132 million in damages over opening credits that claims, “This is a true story” despite the Baby Reindeer character she believes is based on her having been convicted of stalking and sent to prison twice. Harvey has never been convicted of any crime in real life.
"We are exempt from negotiation because this case is not ready for negotiation,” he said. “We are very confident in our position and we will not give up. The person from the mediation office wanted to know if we were ready to settle and we said no. Negotiation is dead, but I never say never. There is very little chance that it will settle.”
