Belfast law firm settles defamation case against Brandon Lewis

A statement read by Desmond Fahy KC, representing KRW Law, confirmed the case related to a piece written by Sir Brandon in his capacity at the time as secretary of state and published on the Conservative Home website.

“The article set out Sir Brandon’s personal opinion and perspective on the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill which had recently been introduced into the House of Commons,” Mr Fahy said.

“The parties all agree on the vital importance of free speech on matters of important political controversy, in particular by senior politicians such as Sir Brandon who have an important role to play in formulating policy on difficult issues relating to the legacy of the Troubles.”

The statement went on: “The parties also all recognise the important role which lawyers, including KRW Law, play in representing victims of The Troubles and their families.

“Nothing in the article was intended to cast any doubt on the integrity of KRW Law, its partners or its solicitors.

“The parties are pleased therefore that this claim has been drawn to an amicable conclusion.”
