Byline Investigates has removed an allegation of ‘unlawful’ newsgathering against former Mail on Sunday journalist Dennis Rice from its website following a complaint to regulator Impress.

It is the latest in a series of legal disputes between Rice and the Byline titles.

Rice complained to regulator Impress in July 2018 over a story Byline Investigates published about him approximately 12 months after Byline Media was judged to have libelled him by an Impress-appointed arbitrator.
