Man in Great Britain Sued by Political Rival for Twitter Libel

Libel cases are happening all over the world.   In 2009, a man in Great Britain tweeted that his political rival had been removed from a polling station by police, and was later sued for the false/mistaken claim.  There was in fact a man taken away from a polling station that day, but it was not his rival.  In 2011, the court made its decision and the man had to pay his former rival £3,000 (about $4,753) and had to pay £50,000 ($79,215) in legal fees.   He also had to publish an apology on the same place where he made the claim about his formal rival: Twitter.
