Conspiracy to attack Manchester Arena ordered to pay £45,000 compensation

Hall had told the court his actions, including filming Eve outside her home, were in the public interest as a journalist and claimed “millions of people” had bought a lie about the attack.

In addition to the deaths, hundreds of people were injured in the attack when Salman Abedi detonated a homemade backpack bomb in the venue’s foyer as thousands of people were leaving an Ariana Grande concert.

Mrs Justice Steyn refused to award aggravated damages.

She said Hall’s story was “ridiculous and untrue” but accepted he continued to believe it was true.

She said both father and daughter were vulnerable and the harassment had lasted for a long time.

She also imposed an injunction on Hall, designed to prevent him from harassing the Hibberts in the future, and ordered him to pay 90% of the Hibberts’ legal fees.
