Former British High Commissioner to Belize John Yapp will be paid 320,000 pounds; that's what a British High Court Judge has ruled that he deserves after he was unfairly suspended from his post in 2008.
As we reported, the judge ruled that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office had no grounds to discipline him for reports that he acted inappropriately - specifically that he'd touched a woman's behind at a cocktail party.
The judge heard the case to completion where he tested all the evidence presented against Yapp, and in the end, he found that they were baseless.
As a result, the court has ordered that he must be paid 320,000 pounds in compensation.
