Arron Banks was appealing against a ruling that said a talk given by journalist Carole Cadwalladr that suggested he may have broken electoral law posed no harm to his reputation.

In the latest ruling, three judges said Mr Banks' appeal should be allowed in relation to the TED talk's publication, but upheld the other conclusions made by the judge.

He said:"If what the judge meant by the term 'echo chamber' was that most of the publishees were people who disliked or had a generally low opinion of the claimant that was irrelevant to the question she had to decide."If, as I believe, what she meant was that in the minds of most publishees the claimant already had a bad reputation for the specific misconduct of taking foreign money in breach of electoral law and lying about it, the evidence did not allow such a finding.

"If she meant that the claimant did not care what these publishees thought, that was legally irrelevant to the issue of whether serious reputational harm was established.

‘Partial’ 🤭 you really are pathetic

I wonder which newspaper Mr Justice Steyn reads?

Err. No. It wasn't a 'partial victory'. He won.

That’s doesn’t mean you are not a con artist and fraudster

When a so called ‘news’ company lies! “Partial victory” Sly News is nothing more than the unofficial mouth piece of the far left and Labour. No news just lies and opinions!

Wrong! She was found guilty of defamation and has to pay damages!

You mostly lost Your damages are going to be derisory Get used to it

Did he write this for you as well?

Misleading headline. She won the two substantive counts.

🤣🤣🤣

'In 2020, The Electoral Commission revealed a National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation found no evidence to support the allegations against him and his companies.' What reputation? Will watch the brilliant TED talk again. £$ should get out of politics. It's breaking democracy.

‘Total vindication for Arron Banks’ would be a more suitable headline.

He won you clowns 🤡😂😂😂

Brilliant news👌

It looked like a clear win to Banks if you ask me

The way the headline's worded is an example of why people are switching from Sky to GBnews

Arron Banks wins. There you go.

No Sky. He won.

Awful Awful Awful news outlet... I thought this was bad...

That Russian agent looks incredibly smug in the picture I guess buckets of money and playing a big part in destabilising the UK has that effect

It's a funny partial victory when the 'journalist' is guilty of defamation and has to pay damages and all cost

SLY news

You missed out the bit about her libellous defamation for which she's been ordered to pay damages. I suppose that's bound to happen in a busy independent-minded news office.

adamboultonTABB Did an intern write this?

He mainly lost.

Why I stopped viewing SkyNews a long time ago. Activist TV.

Partial victory, 33% Carole wins 66% Guess what Sky goes with...

Good news 👏 👍

The word 'journalist l' is carrying alot of weight here 🤣

Partial victory? She lied and now has to pay.

Very strange way to report the outcome where the public interest verdict stands. CC won 2-1 against Bankski

Either way he is a total liar as has been shown by the Brexit failure.

Partial you left wing tossers?

dear Sky News, stop telling lies Cadwalladr lost, right 'three Court of Appeal judges have now said he was caused serious harm by the Ted Talk’s continuing publication after 29 April 2020 and that Banks is therefore entitled to damages, to be assessed at a later date'

Corrupt immoral money laundering sponsor of Brexit

Sky clown news

A truly shameful period in British history when journalists were fair game. Didn't Russian oligarchs in London take journalists to court? Why did we allow this?

Misleading ~ check the facts.

Arron Banks partly wins Carole Cadwalladr libel appeal and set to receive damages Brexit donor Arron Banks is entitled to damages over Carole Cadwalladr's Ted Talk, appeal judges have ruled.

Do you report partial victory on all cases like this?

This is what happens when you have bitter activists reporting news

Carole lied!

I fucking love days like today. Congrats Arron_banks.

It's over. The cat lady lost and now she has to pay.

She libelled him and has to pay damages. Seems clear to me. More Remainer lies uncovered andthe cult still can’t accept it. I just hope she can afford the cat food. catslivesmatter

'Wins the right to appeal on SOME grounds' Hardly 'Victory' partial or otherwise.

Bet this was difficult for you lot to have to type. Well done Arron, a great result.

Bankruptcy and homelessness seems a fair swap for all the lies & hate-fuelled bile this witch was allowed to spit at all and sundry

It was a full victory! scummedia & sly views are the worst

I'd also like to congratulate Scotland and Wales for their partial wins.

He lost majority of his points wtaf.

adamboultonTABB Really?

Whatever the final outcome of the court case is it not the case that very many people have already made their minds up about Arron Banks?

SlyNews

Or maybe the journalist won a substantial victory? See, it's easy to frame it another way. Even maybe a more truthful way.

'Partial victory ' Jesus christ, you are an awful 'news' outlet.
