Father and daughter win $58,000 in lawsuit against man who claimed Manchester Arena bombing was hoax

The Hibbert’s also won an injunction preventing Hall from further harassment, and Hall will have to pay 90% of their legal costs that are currently estimated at 260,000 pounds ($335,000).
Glad he doesn’t only have to pay a paltry 58k. Still wish it was more
- Im not familiar with British law, anyone care to explain why this is capped at 90%? Kinda unintuitive to me.
  
  Probably so people don't take the piss with the legal fees if they're confident of winning. See the Colette Rooney vs Rebecca Vardey case for example.
Hall said the trial was unfair and continued to insist the bombing didn’t happen as he left the court.
