Laurence Fox arrives at court to challenge £180k ruling after losing libel battle

Laurence Fox has arrived at court with his wife to appeal a £180,000 libel ruling. Last year, Fox lost a case against Simon Blake and drag artist Crystal after calling them "paedophiles" on X. The High Court ordered him to pay £90,000 to each claimant, stating Fox subjected them to an unjust public ordeal.

Fox described the ruling as "so surreal it's almost funny" and plans to appeal. He previously expressed concerns about the misuse of courts and criticized the decision as a "bullies charter."
