A Nottingham dad has told how he nearly took his own life and now faces debts of £25,000 after Jet2 accused him of lying about falling ill while on holiday. Karl Hughes has endured years of legal fighting with the holiday firm.
It brought civil proceedings for an alleged false claim - after he and his wife Laura sought compensation when they allegedly suffered from food poisoning on a Lanzarote break in 2016. Jet2 urged a judge to find the couple guilty of contempt of court in civil proceedings - meaning they could have been jailed for up to two years and handed a massive fine.
Despite successfully defending themselves in the legal battle, Karl has been left emotionally and financially battered. He said the "legal trauma" lasted nearly six years and has left him tens of thousands of pounds out of pocket.
