Sir Philip Green loses legal case against UK over use of parliamentary privilege

Tycoon was named in Lords as having obtained injunction against Telegraph to stop publication of misconduct allegations

Retail tycoon Sir Philip Green has lost a legal case against the UK government after complaining about being publicly named in the House of Lords as facing misconduct allegations.

The case, which was said to be a test of the concept of parliamentary privilege, was launched after Lord Hain announced in the House of Lords that Green had used the courts to obtain an interim injunction against the Telegraph to stop publication of the allegations during 2018.
