Son's defamation payout over sex allegations doubled on appeal

"Son's defamation payout over sex allegations doubled on appeal

The ACT Court of Appeal has more than doubled a defamation payout to a martial arts instructor who was falsely accused of being a paedophile, awarding him $50,000 on appeal.

Businessman Jeff Manny made the false allegations against police officer Warwick Sheils and his late father Peter Sheils QC in 2004, after a dispute with the pair at the karate school they ran in Belconnen."
