Sugar's statement:
In a predictably bellicose response, Sugar not only hailed the decision but promised to lead a wider fight against the spread of what he described as a speculative claim culture.
He said English had picked the wrong fight, describing her as a "chancer" and "money-grabber". He said: "There was never a case for us to answer but her need for money and fame meant that the whole system was subjected to this charade.
"I have been cleared of a derisory attempt to smear my name and extract money from me. The allegations were without substance, and I believe this case was brought with one intention in mind: the presumption that I would not attend the tribunal, that I would not testify and that I would settle out of court, sending Ms English on her way with a tidy settlement.
"I'm afraid she underestimated me and her reputation is now in tatters. I have principles and I am not going to be forced to compromise them, no matter how much time and money they might cost me."
