problems on both sides
... first it is a little alarming that there is the possibility of the court denying the insurance from paying this. I hope this can only happen because the 'company' is insured and he wants the damages paid by the individuals therefore his case is with the individuals not the 'company'... otherwise why ever buy legal insurance again?
... second is that this rag making these headlines sounds like it is attacking him for being gay. I have a feeling that kind of thing in the UK would come under more specific laws.(could be wrong).
