The High Court has ordered Express Newspapers to publish an apology over a website story which accused man of helping to start fires at a migrant camp in Paris.

And it has thrown out a bid by the title to argue that the order infringed its rights under Article 10 of the European Convention.

James Ellison sued the Express in 2016 over an article on the Express.co.uk website. An early stage the Express agreed to settle the proceedings, paying damages and costs and publishing an apology, on the basis that it had imputed that Ellison had committed arson on foreign soil.
