RUTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL

LEGAL BULLIES

OF THE YEAR

Runners-up Scarborough borough

council threatened to close down a website,

Real Whitby, which had carried embarrassing

stories about councillors. Chief legal officer

Lisa Dixon demanded that “defamatory

and untrue” material be removed.

Real Whitby asked for examples,

but Dixon could not provide any.

Winners Rutland county council,

which set aside £90,000 of taxpayers’

money to seek an injunction against

three of its own councillors

(the “Rutland Anti-Corruption Party”)

who had been asking awkward questions.

The council tested the water by

prosecuting another critic, blogger Martin

Brookes, for “harassing and stalking”

chief exec Helen Briggs.

District judge John Temperley found

Brookes not guilty, declaring:

“Freedom of expression is an essential

function of a democratic society.

It is applicable also to those who offend

and shock.”

A hero on the bench!
