Monroe v Hopkins

[4] On 18 May, a few days later, Hopkins tweeted to the food writer Jack Monroe: "Scrawled on any war memorials recently?"

Monroe asked Hopkins to make a public apology and give £5,000 to "migrant rescue" as a settlement to prevent the matter going to court.

On 10 March 2017, Mr Justice Warby judged that the two tweets sent by Hopkins were defamatory to Monroe (according to the Defamation Act 2013) and were the source of "serious harm", a prerequisite for demonstrating libel.

[8] A week after the verdict, Monroe said she bore "no ill will" towards Hopkins: "Although what she said about me was wrong and the last two years have been a grim process, I would happily sit down and talk as adults.

[6] Hopkins sold her Exeter home in March 2018 to pay the debts arising from the case,[9][10][11] and applied for an individual voluntary arrangement in May.
