Richard Hall, who says the atrocity was staged and no one died, is being sued by bombing survivors Martin and Eve Hibbert for harassment, misuse of private information and data protection
A conspiracy theorist who claims the Manchester Arena bombing was staged and did not kill anyone has been denied a second chance to challenge a ruling that his theory is 'absurd and fantastical'.
However, Mr Hall has claimed the attack, in which Salman Abedi detonated a homemade rucksack bomb in the crowd of concert-goers, killing 22 people, was faked by government agencies.Mr Hall, described as a journalist, broadcaster and media producer, has been accused of visiting the homes and workplaces of those injured in the attack – including Ms Hibbert’s home – and recording footage of them. The full trial in the Hibberts' claim against Mr Hall is expected in July.
This included rulings on whether 22 people did die during the attack, and whether the Hibberts’ injuries were caused by the bombing. In March, Mr Hall lost an initial bid to appeal against the judgment without a hearing, and on Friday he was denied again.
