Union chief loses mayoral leaflet case
A JUDGE has kicked out a libel claim brought against London Mayor Boris Johnson by RMT union chief Bob Crow.
Mr Crow had complained about leaflets produced for Mr Johnson’s campaign for re-election in May.
Mr Justice Tugendhat, at the High Court, ruled that the leaflets – which suggested that Mr Crow’s association with mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone could damaged Mr Livingstone’s electoral prospects and Londoners’ interests were not defamatory.
