The Daily Mail has published an apology to Chris Packham and a correction for its inaccurate reporting of Chris’s libel win against Fieldsports Channel Ltd and one of its journalists, Andrew (Ben) O’Rourke. However, the following day the Daily Mail published an inaccurate article that suggested Chris had sued the wrong company and ‘may not see a penny’ of the damages/costs from Fieldsports Channel Ltd. The Daily Mail published its correction and apology in yesterday’s print edition, as follows:An article on November 7 said that, despite his successful libel action against Fieldsports Channel Ltd (FCL), Chris Packham ‘may not see a penny’ because he had sued the wrong company. In fact, FCL admitted responsibility in court and the first of three compensation payments has already been made. We apologise for suggesting otherwise.
