Rzucek v Vinnicombe [2026] EWHC 946 (KB) (23 April 2026)
The High Court awarded defamation damages and an injunction over YouTube videos about the Watts case, but dismissed the harassment remedy for want of jurisdiction.
The Privy Council restored a defamation claim in principle, holding that the Court of Appeal wrongly reversed liability on the first statement and wrongly reduced damages to a nominal sum.
The respondent's placement of the claimant on restricted duties and intrusive questioning were acts of direct disability discrimination, harassment, and unfavourable treatment arising from disability, not justified by any legitimate aim or proportionate means. The respondent failed to conduct a proper risk assessment, relied on stigma and misconceptions about HIV, and did not consider less restrictive alternatives. The conduct caused significant injury to feelings and was aggravated by the respondent's disclosure of the claimant's diagnosis without consent.
