Family Who Was Accused of Not Paying Their Bill
In the News
I remember actually seeing this at the time it happened and I do believe the place should have made sure they didn't pay instead of just put the family online

I think that's fair enough L
It's a good job they weren't celebrities , the compensation would have been closer £750,000
And at least there was good reason to claim the compensation, in my post the woman was awarded £30,000 just for being embarrassed about being compared to darth vader, lol

It was to make an example of them, to ensure other businesses don’t just violate GDPR laws by posting images of people

Used to work in Hope Derbyshire near Castleton..
I've stayed in Bluebell Cottage in Tideswell when my god daughter rented it for week ,her mum god daughter & I went around a few of the pubs & had a lovely time ..

My partner & I drove over from Sheffield to Tideswell last May 24th for my birthday, has a beautiful meal in The George & a walk up Tideswell Dale,we were going to the Horse & Jockey but decided to go to The George as we've had a meal there before & it was lovely..

That’s a hefty fine, will teach people not to just post things online without being 100% sure.

Seems a big fine.
I am thou fed up with people using social media to make accusations and embarrass people all the time, often without justification it does need to be controlled better. People are so quick to post anything and everything without thinking.

I remember seeing this on Facebook, I'm glad they got what they deserve, £75,000 is a nice pay day

I have just seen that this family are actually multi millionaires so probably had enough money to spend on lawyers.

I’m a bit torn on this one. One of the articles have said the pub may have to close which means loss of jobs etc etc. the family that got accused must have been incredibly offended and whoever posted the details on Facebook is obviously a complete knob - but its a shame on the rest of the staff if they do lose their jobs.
Maybe a front page apology on daily newspapers and get the guy from the pub to do community service at the family’s business. The family don’t need the money so it would be nice to see them give it to charity.
