Libel case against Jeremy Corbyn adjourned after complainant’s lawyer files late evidence

THE first stage of a libel case brought against Jeremy Corbyn by pro-Israel activist Richard Millett was adjourned today so that the judge could consider new submissions from lawyers.

The delay was due to Mr Millett’s lawyer submitting late new evidence, which he admitted was a “failure” on his part, according to Jewish News.

The case relates to an appearance made by former Labour leader Mr Corbyn on BBC 1’s Andrew Marr Show in September 2018.
