UK court orders YouTuber Adil Raja to pay legal costs in defamation case

LONDON: A London high court on Wednesday ordered a UK-based YouTuber to pay legal costs in a defamation case brought against him by a retired Pakistani military officer.

Adil Raja, the YouTuber who served as a major in the Pakistan Army, was ordered to pay £6,100 in legal costs to retired Brigadier Rashid Naseer after a half-day hearing held before Master Davison.

The proceedings addressed three preliminary applications ahead of a full trial, scheduled to take place in six weeks.
