Tuggs owner George Foulidis sued Ford for libel and the case was dismissed on interesting grounds. Evidently, George Foulidis was not listed as a senior officer of Tugs Inc when Ford`s interview took place. George Foulidis`brother Konstantinos was the one who was listed as the president, secretary and treasurer. Therefore no reasonable person would have taken Ford`s comments about Tuggs to refer to George Foulidis.
The judge also noted that the plaintiff, George Foulidis was a fraudster and a liar.
Which would give him something in common with lots of people out to get Rob Ford.

I wouldn`t be surprised to hear if al Starzeera had subsidized the plaintiff`s legal costs for the libel case.
Oh I am sure the Red Star did. The rest was probably picked up by CUPE.
