Cairns was awarded legal costs and 90,000 pounds in damages following a two-week trial over Modi’s tweet that alleged the former was involved in the match fixing in the now defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL).

Justice David Bean of the London High Court granted Modi leave to appeal only against the amount of damages, but Modi indicated that he would make an application to a court of appeal to overturn the verdict.
