Mr Justice Tugendhat said the couple’s case against Mr Bennett
should be heard “as soon as practicable
The parents of
Madeleine McCann
yesterday won their latest court battle with a retired
lawyer they say is waging a harassment campaign against
them.
Gerry and Kate McCann
want the High Court to jail Tony Bennett, 65, who has
accused them of causing their daughter’s death,
disposing of her body and covering up what they had
done.
Mr Justice Tugendhat said the couple’s case against Mr Bennett
should be heard “as soon as practicable”.
In 2009, Mr Bennett, of Harlow, Essex, promised to stop making
allegations against the McCanns.
They claim he has breached that formal undertaking more than 150
times and are now seeking his imprisonment, or other
punishment, for alleged contempt of court.
Mr Bennett wants the court to “vary” the undertakings so
he can publish his “credible evidence” Madeleine died in
their holiday home in May 2007. |
