The article is on Wikipedia and has been written or vandalised by
someone with an axe to grind.

Needless to say, the actual words of Justice Morland were quite
different from those reported on that page and did not concern any
allegations about Laurence Godfrey or previous damages he may have
won.  Why should he concern himself with such matters, when his real
judgement was that Demon's defence was "in law, hopeless".

He did allow Demon to resubmit their pleadings - they had initially
pleaded that, although they did not remove the defamatory statements
when asked, they were not the original publisher(s) of the libel(s).

After a while and with costs mounting, as it became obvious that
Laurence was not just going away, Demon changed their lawyer to
Olswang & co who advised Demon to settle for moderate damages and
payment of all the claimant's taxed (assessed) costs.  With rather
less than a month to go before the full hearing was to start, Demon
capitulated but it still took them months to pay up.
