Obtaining Damages by Deception

"This was like a SLAPP on steroids," says the FSU's Director Lord Young of Acton. "A wealthy couple were able to shut down unwanted speech about themselves by securing a court judgment without even the most basic legal process. Anyone who worries about the powerful or wealthy using high-powered lawyers to shut down free speech should be terrified by this case." The FSU has supported Bond throughout, and this briefing is an attempt to correct a record that has remained badly distorted in public debate.

Gavin Millar KC is one of the leading voices in free speech, anti SLAPP and the sanctity of courts

Why did he represent Neil and Donna Sands and why was he and his chambers celebrating denying access to funds to fight a case? If Sebastian wasn't supported by the FSU the whole Sands team could have got away with all they did.

This whole debacle was to shut down free speech on two rich people with a significant presence and they mislead the court to evade open justice. I'm an armchair follower of this all but I don't understand how it got where it did.
