The Horse and Jockey pub in Tideswell, Derbyshire, has been ordered to pay £75,000 in damages to the McGirr family, who were falsely accused of not paying their £150 bill.

The pub later admitted the error, apologized, and stated that there was no dishonesty involved, attributing the mistake to an inexperienced employee.
