US EditionJoey Barton to Pay More than £200,000 of Jeremy Vine Legal Costs in Libel Battle
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 15 – Joey Barton settled after posting apologies and paying £110,000 in damages, with total legal costs exceeding £200,000 following a sustained defamation campaign against Jeremy Vine.
- Joey Barton and Jeremy Vine settled a High Court libel case in 2024 concerning Barton's defamatory online posts about Vine.
- The lawsuit was initiated after Barton repeatedly made defamatory statements on the social media platform X , falsely labeling Vine a 'big bike nonce' and a 'pedo defender'.
- Barton apologised in June 2024, paid Vine £110,000 in damages, agreed to four settlement undertakings, and the court ruled some posts could defame Vine.
- On Tuesday, Costs Judge Colum Leonard ordered Barton to pay an additional £43,172.30 related to negotiation of £160,000 in legal costs, raising total costs to £203,172.30.
- This ruling means Barton must cover more than £200,000 of Vine's legal costs, reflecting consequences of Barton's failure to properly negotiate during proceedings.
