Vince (Appellant/Claimant) v Tice (Respondent/Defendant)
Thursday 14 May 2026
By Appellant’s Notice submitted on 28 March 2025, the Appellant appeals a decision of the High Court dated 26 February 2025.
Dale Vince OBE, founder of Ecotricity and a prominent Labour donor, brought separate libel claims against Paul Staines, editor of the Guido Fawkes website, and Richard Tice MP. The claims arose from articles and social‑media posts published in March 2024 following comments Mr Vince made in a Times Radio interview shortly after the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023.
Guido Fawkes published articles featuring an extract from the interview, and Mr Tice shared one of them on social media. The High Court held that the tweet was a statement of opinion.
