A STORY on page three of today’s edition headlined ‘Ex-priest granted leave to appeal on abuse case’ incorrectly stated that a Court of Appeal panel was told evidence of a fraud charge against former Darlington priest Father Michael Higginbottom was put to the jury in his trial.
Higginbottom did not face a charge of fraud. The incorrect information was from a trusted source and was used in good faith.
