David Kezerashvili welcomes BBC libel settlement:
David Kezerashvili commented: “I am glad to announce that a legal action I brought against the BBC last year over false allegations made in a television programme and accompanying online publications has now been settled on favourable terms. The BBC has removed the relevant material from its online platforms and agreed not to repeat the allegations. The BBC will also be paying my legal costs. Thank you to my legal team at Carter Ruck for their support. I now consider this matter closed.”
Antonia Foster, partner at Carter Ruck law firm, commented: “This settlement is a hugely satisfactory outcome for Mr. Kezerashvili after 18 months contesting the BBC’s false allegations. Carter Ruck has represented Mr. Kezerashvili from the beginning, and we are delighted with the result.”
