BBG - You have missed some of the detail out there though. Tim Ireland ran against her as an independent (and lost) and following this tried to have the result voided stating she had made false remarks about him during the campaign. The legal action he brought was a petition to have the result voided and his lawyers were that bad they sent the notice of action to the wrong address. He choose not to contest this. So how can you state she made false claims, if this has never been proven. How do you know Tim Ireland isn't making false claims after losing against her?
Internet loony Tim Ireland is facing a £150,000 legal bill after the High Court threw out his petition to have Nadine Dorries’ election in Mid-Bedfordshire voided.
According to the
BBC:
“Judges threw out case as Ireland was late filing his papers”.
Nadine’s lawyers speak:
“This petition was part of Mr Ireland’s continued campaign of harassment against our client. Our client believes that the petition was maliciously brought and had no merit. We are pleased that the right outcome, namely dismissal of the petition, was achieved. Our client was elected with a very clear majority and, with this petition now dismissed (and with the petitioner not having sought to appeal) she can continue with her job of representing the people of Mid Bedfordshire.”
