Can't see the point in bringing an action if the verdict which cleared the airline has to be kept so relatively quiet.
Daily Wail lawyers caved on this very quickly. Likely having reviewed their clients case pretty much told them that their day in court would have one outcome and a big bill.
Bearing in mind that Daily Wail has run quite a few Ryanair stories while seemingly ignoring other airlines court could conclude it was a vendetta and reward damages accordingly.
There was no win for the newspaper on this.
