The judge said of Mrs Vardy that "significant parts of her evidence were not credible", while she added: "In my judgement, Ms Rooney was an honest and reliable witness."
She also pointed out that "there were many occasions" when Mrs Vardy's evidence "was manifestly inconsistent" with other evidence, and "evasive or implausible".During the case, the court heard that Ms Watt's phone had fallen into the North Sea while she was filming the Scottish coastline in August 2021 - so it could not be submitted as evidence.
The High Court judgement found this was an example of Mrs Vardy understanding the value of information. "Although significant parts of Mrs Vardy's evidence were not credible, my assessment is that she is genuinely offended by the accusation made against her by Mrs Rooney in the reveal post."The judge said Mrs Vardy's actions were "it seems to me, unthinking rather than part of a considered and concerted business practice".
The case has raised issues about social media and libel laws, and how posting an allegation about someone online compares to publishing one in print.
