Richards Butler is representing an autograph shop that is suing pop star Victoria Beckham in a substantial damages claim for slander, malicious falsehood, and damage to its business.
Posh Spice accused the shop of passing off a David Beckham fake autograph for the real thing. Her complaints to the autograph shop, GT Recollections, were subsequently published in The Mirror.
The shop is seeking £37,000 in damages for the loss of turnover in the four months after publication of The Mirror's article.
