As a consummate expert in defamation law, Richard Rampton KC was the ideal barrister to conduct one of the most important trials ever held in the London courts in defence of the truth.

Rampton, who has died aged 82, led the courtroom case against the Holocaust denier David Irving in a hearing that became a textbook example of how to combat fake news. It was memorialised in the David Hare-scripted film Denial (2016).

Representing Penguin Books and the American historian Deborah Lipstadt, who had been sued by Irving after she accused him of misinterpreting Nazi documents, Rampton systematically demolished his offensive bluster and racist jokes.
