Szilvia Berki was unable to even go to the police to report her sexual assault unless she herself wanted to end up in jail.

Brand and his than partner Jemima Goldsmith claimed she caused them anxiety and distress.

She never went to a full trial - only a summary judgment, never had a lawyer, never got to defend herself and was silenced for life

    the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal on every ground raised, including the ground that Jay had been so overbearing, rude, and bullying to the claimant (whose first language was not English but Polish, and who was acting without legal help), that the trial had been unfair.

    Cool guy.
