Sir James Dyson loses libel claim against Daily Mirror publisher
Sir James Dyson has lost his libel claim against the publisher of the Daily Mirror. The inventor was suing Mirror Group Newspapers for libel over an article published in January 2022. Mr Dyson told court the article was "a personal attack on all that I have done and achieved in my lifetime and is highly distressing and hurtful". During the two day trial, Justin Rushbrooke KC, for Sir James, said in written submissions that the articles, both in print and online, "constituted a serious and unjustified slur on Sir James's reputation, business and personal". Adrienne Page KC, for MGN, said the words in the article were "substantially correct" and that Sir James could not dictate how the commentator posed them.
