Partial victory for anti McDonald’s activists in libel case
In London the Court of Appeal reduced damages to 61300 pounds while upholding key defamation findings against Dave Morris and Helen Steel. The judges affirmed claims that McDonald’s workers face poor conditions and low pay and that the chain’s products can pose health risks, but ruled some poisoning and cancer claims unjustified. The case, nicknamed McLabel, lasted 314 days, the longest English trial, with plans to appeal to the House of Lords.
