I've been writing about technology for most of my adult life, focusing mainly on legal and regulatory issues. I write for a wide range of publications: credits include the Times, Daily Telegraph and Financial Times newspapers, as well as BBC radio and numerous technology titles.

A U.K. court has ruled against a man who claimed that the bombing attack at an Ariana Grande concert in 2017 was an"elaborate hoax".

He appeared at Eve’s home address in September 2019, having said that he was"skeptical over whether the daughter had any injuries". He also knocked on Eve’s mother’s door several times, and on neighbors’ doors, before setting up a camera in his car and filming Eve in her wheelchair, along with her carer and her mother.

Martin and Eve Hibbert were standing close to bomber Salman Abedi at the time of the explosion—indeed, they were the closest victims to survive. Martin received 22 wounds from shrapnel and was left with a spinal injury. He is paralyzed from the waist down, wheelchair-bound and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

"For many families affected by the bombing it is struggle every day, even now more than seven years on, to comprehend what happened, and the impact it has had on their lives. They should never have to face such hurtful claims and I hope this case sends out a clear message that it will not be tolerated."
