Exclusive: British court orders ‘interim payment’ for costs after Black Cube withdraws £15m libel suit
A British court has ordered the private intelligence firm Black Cube to pay £350,000 in costs to an Israeli investigative television show after withdrawing a high-profile £15m libel lawsuit against the media group.
Court documents filed in the high court of justice Queen’s bench division show that Black Cube (known in the proceedings as BC Strategy UK Limited) was ordered to make the “interim payment” to pay for the costs of Keshet Broadcasting Limited and five of the group’s journalists.
