Duped Dad wins £22,000

A Stockbroker who sued his former girlfriend who wrongly claimed he was the father of her son won £22.4k. He has originally sued her for £100k after finding out the child was not his when the boy was 5 after having a DNA test.

Although this is a step in the right direction, the judge still dismissed his claims of £37,000 that he had paid out for nursery fees.

The mother still claims that she had no reason to believe the child was not is, and had not deliberately duped the dad. The judge concluded that it would be impossible to accept this woman as a witness of truth.

Well ain’t that the truth.

While this is definitely progress, being the 1st case of its kind. It still does not fully compensate the duped dad enough since he was deemed to have got ‘great enjoyment’ from his relationship with the child.

Lock the heffer up I say!
