Madeleine: More Sub-stantial Damages, 15 October 2008

Madeleine: More Sub-stantial Damages Sky News   By Martin Brunt October 15, 2008 5:59 PM   Back to the High Court in the morning and another Madeleine McCann payout... this time to the 'Tapas 7'.   Where will it end? Here, probably. Unless other hacks want to push their luck.   Kate and Gerry's friends who were with them in Portugal had complained about 20 or so newspaper articles which accused them, variously, of covering up details of Madeleine's disappearance and misleading the authorities there.   In one case there was an allegation, based on Portuguese reports, that one of the friends had been involved in the disappearance.   The latest payment of £375,000 is from Express Newspapers, which have already paid the McCanns £550,000.   Although the award is to the McCann friends, I gather it will go to the Madeleine Fund to help in the continued search for the young girl.   Any connection between the combined £925,000 Express payout and the 86 redundancies recently announced at the, er, Express is entirely coincidental.   Those losing their jobs are mostly sub-editors, who provide a check on the exuberance and accuracy of the papers' reporters.
