![]() ![]() ![]() Responding to Coad’s letter, Grosvenor said Mone denied libelling him and that her reference to “advisers” in her BBC interview was generalised rather than specific. Otherwise, he wrote, “Baroness Mone can expect to receive a protocol compliant pre-action letter setting out the basis on which proceedings for libel will be commenced” and he would send their correspondence to media organisations. He invited them to suggest “remedies” for the dispute. That allegation is highly defamatory of me, suggesting that I was complicit in your clients’ mendacity, contrary to my obligations ,” he wrote. I was merely instructed to deny her involvement in PPE Medpro based on her own mendacious denials. “Baroness Mone received no such advice from me. In effect, he alleged, she was suggesting that he had advised her to lie. “When I have been quoted as ‘commenting’ on the stories at issue, it would be more accurate to say that I have been attempting to fend off the publication of a series potentially career-ending allegations, which have all being generated by clients’ iniquitous actions,” he wrote.Ĭoad said the suggestion that he had acted in breach of his regulatory obligations was “unsustainable”, and alleged in turn that Mone’s references to advisers in her BBC interview could have referred only to him. In a furious response, Coad accused the couple of enlisting him into “a concerted and mendacious effort by your clients to cover up the immense benefit to them of a transaction whereby £200m of public money was paid to a company in which they have the most obvious financial interest” and “instructing me repeatedly to disseminate lies” about their links to PPE Medpro. Last week the firm wrote to Coad accusing him of breaking client confidentiality by apologising and inviting him to report himself to the Solicitors Regulation Authority. ![]() Mone and Barrowman are now represented by the legal firm Grosvenor Law. ![]() “The legal team advised myself and my husband not to comment and not to say that of my involvement in PPE Medpro ,” she said. Mone appeared to suggest in the interview that the couple had been advised to hide their involvement. Both now admit involvement in the company, but deny wrongdoing. Mone and her husband, the Isle of Man-based businessman Doug Barrowman, are facing a long-running National Crime Agency investigation into allegations of bribery and fraud in their securing of the PPE contracts for the company. His apology followed an interview that Mone and Barrowman gave to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg in which they admitted they had repeatedly lied to journalists about their involvement in the company, PPE Medpro, and that it was “not a crime” for them to have done so. “I neither knew nor had any reason to believe that my client was not telling me the truth and wrote to your title in good faith.” “To the extent that I unintentionally misled your colleagues and title, I offer my unqualified apology,” Coad said last year.
