The former chairman of the Water Services Corporation, Michael Falzon, was today awarded €2,500 after the courts found Labour whip Joe Mizzi guilty of libel.
Mr Mizzi had written an article in The Times of April 1, 2004, entitled Playing chairman, in which he claimed that Mr Falzon had tried to hide and manipulate information in view of EU membership.
Mr Falzon claimed that the article was exposing him to ridicule.
