UKIP facing financial ruin over East Yorkshire MEP's £670k libel legal fees
The party has been ordered to foot some of the £670,000 bill for Jane Collins
The fallout from an East Yorkshire MEP’s libel case could leave UKIP on the brink of financial ruin after a shock High Court ruling.
UKIP has been ordered to pay their share of the £670,000 in legal fees and costs after Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire MEP, Jane Collins, was ruled to have libelled three Labour MPs .
Mr Justice Mark Warby ruled on Thursday, February 15, that “UKIP should pay the claimants’ costs from March 20, 201, to June 23, 2015, and their costs of the assessment” – a sum which Labour sources say could be as high as £200,000.
UKIP are known to be struggling financially, with beleaguered leader Henry Bolton saying another leadership contest – in what would be their fourth in less than three years – could bankrupt the party.
And only last week, John Bickley, the party’s treasurer, wrote that the party had been “living hand to mouth since 2015” and explained that its finances were under great pressure.
