Controversies

In 2019, he was sued for defamation by Jacek Pawłowicz and was ordered to pay him 10,000 Polish złoties in damages, and donate as much to a hospice in Szczecinek. Douglas-Hardie was sued after he published an article in which he accused Pawłowicz, a local political opponent and member of the rival Law and Justice party, of political corruption. He also claimed that him recently becoming a deputy director of a spa company in Połczyn-Zdrój was due to his party membership, and accused him of lacking sufficient qualifications. Such claims were found to be false by the court in Koszalin. [8] [9]
