💨 Abstract

A wealthy Northern Irish family, the McGirrs, were falsely accused of not paying a £150 pub bill. The Horse and Jockey pub in Derbyshire publicly shamed them on Facebook, leading to significant reputational damage. The family, who own a multimillion-pound engineering company, sued for libel. It was revealed that a staff member had taken payment but failed to process it correctly.
