Owen in career claim damages win
Newcastle and England football star Michael Owen has accepted a public
apology and undisclosed damages over claims his football career was over.
The 29-year-old striker was not at London's High Court for the settlement
of his libel action over a story in the Daily Express last month.
It followed claims he was verging on retirement because Premier League
clubs no longer wanted to sign him.
Express Newspapers accepted that the allegations were false.
Owen's solicitor, John Kelly, told Mr Justice Eady that the newspaper
falsely alleged Premier League clubs did not want to sign him and, as a
result of a lack of interest, he was on the verge of retiring from
professional football at the end of the season.
Mr Kelly said: "These incredulous allegations are entirely without
foundation and were obviously extremely distressing, hurtful and damaging to
the claimant."
上月 Daily Express 报道大牌因为乏人问津
而且状态低迷,将於赛季结束後退役。
大牌於是上告法院,控告报章诽谤。
Daily Express 已经向大牌道歉及修改报道的标题
不过当事人(大牌)并没有出现在伦敦高等法院
Important game
Ian Helme, counsel for Express Newspapers, which has agreed to pay
damages and Owen's legal costs, accepted that the allegations were unfounded
and apologised for the distress, embarrassment and offence caused.
Mr Kelly said the back page article, entitled "Unwanted Toon striker at a
cross roads, Finished at 29?", was accompanied by another headed "Owen ready
for sad finale".
以上是原来报道的标题。
He said the player's distress was aggravated by the fact the article was
published on the eve of an important game in which his club was fighting to
avoid relegation.
也因为报道,让大牌面对新堡各场保级大战中的郁闷情绪爆发出来。
He said the allegations were not put to Owen or his representatives
before publication, or they would have been advised of their utter falsity.
After being contacted by the player's legal team, the article was replaced
with one entitled "Owen: I'm not finished".
以上是修改後的标题,大牌对结果很满意。
After the hearing, a spokesman for Owen said: "Michael is delighted to
have won his case and to have set the record straight."
