LONDON (AP) -- Despite winning a libel case against them, McDonald's
Corp. said Friday it won't try to stop two vegetarians from handing out
leaflets calling the burger chain a menace to animals and its customers.
McDonald's also will not try to recover any of its legal costs, estimated at $16 million, or to collect the $98,000 in symbolic damages that it won. The company apparently decided it had had enough in its court brawl against unemployed former postman Dave Morris and part-time barmaid Helen Steel. |
