Andrew Gilligan at the Telegraph is reporting that the right-wing think tank Policy Exchange has won a significant victory in their libel case brought by the North London Central Mosque.

Gilligan writes that Policy Exchange says on its website:

“The Trustees of Policy Exchange are delighted to report that Mr Justice Eady yesterday struck out the claim brought against us by the North London Central Mosque.

“North London Central Mosque commenced an action against Policy Exchange and Dr Denis MacEoin for libel, following publication of our study “The Hijacking of British Islam” in October 2007.

“Six trustees who had advanced the claim on behalf of the North London Central Mosque were ordered to pay Policy Exchange’s costs of defending this action.

The High Court made a further Order that £75,000 of those costs be paid by North London Central Mosque within 28 days.””

It’s probably my technological incompetence, but at the time of writing, I can’t find this quote anywhere on the actual Policy Exchange website (Gilligan and others link to the main website, rather than any news story). Can anyone help source this?

UPDATE – found the statement, it is in the right hand column at the bottom.
