An employee has won a massive payout after his employer issued a defamatory press release about him. He has been awarded £.8.5 million in compensation. The sleepwalker appeared at the hotel bedroom door of a colleague on three occasions whilst on a business trip in Mozambique. His employer took the decision to issue a press release stating that he had been asked to resign following an 'incident'. The court held that the statement implied that he had made inappropriate advances to the colleague when in fact, he had made no attempt to enter the room.
