A final amount has yet to be decided
Tommy Robinson has been ordered to pay £50,000 in costs after he was jailed for contempt of court, with the final amount still to be decided.
Robinson admitted 10 breaches of the order, which barred him from repeating libellous allegations against a Syrian refugee. He said: “I do not consider that the applicant’s incarceration, or his claimed impecuniosity, is a good reason not to order a payment on account. In 2021, Robinson was sued for libel by Jamal Hijazi after the then-schoolboy was assaulted at Almondbury Community School in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, in October 2018. After a clip of the incident went viral, Robinson made false claims on Facebook, including about Mr Hijazi attacking girls in his school, leading to the libel case.
