A man said he was left feeling suicidal and is now £25,000 in debt after Jet2 accused him of lying about falling ill on a family holiday.
Karl Hughes was embroiled in a legal battle with the holiday operator over an alleged false claim after he and his wife Laura sought compensation having allegedly suffered from food poisoning on a 2016 Lanzarote break. A judge found the couple guilty after Jet2 took the case to a civil court.
They faced up to two years in prison and a huge fine, the Mirror reports. Despite successfully defending themselves in the contempt of court legal fight, Karl has been emotionally and financially battered by what he calls a legal trauma that lasted five years and has left him tens of thousands of pounds out of pocket.
