That businessman who’s suing us for £250,000 didn’t turn up to court Two Italian doctor’s notes and ‘unsatisfactory’ conduct from Claudio Di Giovanni

Update on our libel case 🚨 - the businessman suing us didn’t turn up to the high court for the first hearing. Judge was unimpressed with his medical evidence.
