KRW Law settles defamation case against former government minister
Reading time: 1 minute
KRW Law has settled a defamation action brought against former Northern Ireland secretary of state Sir Brandon Lewis.
The Belfast-based law firm sued Mr Lewis and the Northern Ireland Office in relation to an article which the minister wrote for the ConservativeHome website in June 2022.
The article, which dealt with legacy issues, made a reference to “specialist law firms” which was alleged to be defamatory of KRW Law in particular.
A statement read out in the High Court in Belfast on behalf of all parties yesterday said the case had been “drawn to an amicable conclusion”.
“Nothing in the article was intended to cast any doubt on the integrity of KRW Law, its partners or its solicitors,” the statement added.
