Former hospice chief loses case against ‘Irish Examiner’
Mr Justice Max Barrett ruled the court reports which referred to Mr Dan Philpott’s leaving Marymount after seven months as CEO and a subsequent employment related court case which was settled were not defamatory and did not injure Mr Philpott’s reputation in the eyes of reasonable members of society.
The judge rejected an application by Mr Philpott to have the published articles removed from the Irish Examiner website.
