The career of a once successful businessman lies in ruins after he was jailed for lying to the courts in a battle over intellectual property.
Paul Bennetts, 70, also failed to attend one High Court hearing claiming he had contracted Covid-19 - but then failed to provide "satisfactory evidence" that this was true.
Mr Bennetts, of Southport, became embroiled in a legal row over the rights to a type of medical face cushion used on patients lying in the prone position. In 2018 his group of companies, EC Medica Group (ECMG), sued a company called CS Medical Limited, and its three directors, who were ex-employees of ECMG.
