David Irving responds
my short book on my
2005 arrest, trial and imprisonment
PENGUIN Books and Lipstadt were joint defendants in the libel action I
brought against them. Penguin did not pay a penny themselves, their insurers
Commercial Union paid their costs; but despite this, Penguin (and not the
insurers) petitioned me for bankruptcy, to recover the costs -- which they
had never suffered. Go figure.
In law: they suffered no "damnification."
It was a very clear legal point. When we appealed against the Court's therefore
unjustified payment Order, on these grounds -- before necessarily the same Judge
as had found against me in the Libel Action -- to our fury Penguin Books Ltd
quite simply lied, and claimed that they, and not the insurers, had indeed paid
the legal bills.
We demanded to see the evidence.
Ignoring our protests (because millions were at stake) Mr Justice Gray
accepted the spoken assurance of Penguin's counsel, Heather Rogers, who
had been his Junior in the Nicholas Tolstoy Libel Trial, that Penguin had
themselves paid.
Penguin Books failed to produce any
evidence of this -- e.g. cancelled cheques -- and they also signally
failed to comply with an Order by the Court of Appeal
that they have their costs properly taxed within twelve months, which would of
course have revealed their lie (and caused Miss Rogers not a little difficulty
with the Bar). The Courts were very lenient and turned a blind eye on all these
shortcomings of my opponents.--David Irving

Professor Richard J Evans
EVANS was one of the neutral "expert witnesses" expensively (£250,000) hired by
Prof Deborah Lipstadt and her publisher to testify as to Mr Irving's worth as an
historian during the libel action against her. After spending 20 man-years
searching Mr Irving's thirty works, Evans and his team wrote a report charging
that the author had made 19 errors (e.g., he had misread a five-letter word in
Himmler's handwriting). In a remarkably hostile judgment, Mr Justice Gray
reduced even that figure to twelve.]
