«Breaking News» Wife fighting defamation case after claiming on Facebook her husband strangled her

A judge in 2016 said Nicola Stocker (pictured), 51, defamed her husband by claiming he'd tried to strangle her - because he wasn't trying to kill her

A woman facing a £200,000 legal bill for claiming on Facebook that her ex-husband tried to strangle her is today fighting a judge's ruling that she defamed him because 'he wasn't trying to kill her'.

Nicola Stocker, 51, said millionaire businessman Ronald Stocker, 68, strangled her during an online spat with his new partner Deborah Bligh in December 2012.

She will argue that she used common language to describe the attack when she goes before the Supreme Court today.

Mr Stocker - who lives in a £2.5million detached home in Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire - won a libel case against his ex-wife in 2016 at a High Court trial when the judge used the Oxford English Dictionary to define strangling.

Mr Justice Mitting decided Mr Stocker did 'in temper' attempt to silence his ex-wife, but was not satisfied he had threatened to kill her and therefore her comments had a defamatory meaning.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines 'strangle' in two senses. 1: 'To kill by external compression of the throat.' 2: 'To constrict painfully (of the neck or throat).' 

The judge said Ms Stocker had meant the first definition when she made her accusation on Facebook. 

Addressing a public meeting organised by the Centre for Women's Justice ahead of the case, Ms Stocker told The Telegraph: 'I find it incredibly sad that a legal system I held in such high regard in its current format enables men, and I am sure women, with enough wealth behind them to do that.

'I hope that Parliament will sit up and listen and one day make the changes so clearly needed.'

The couple split after 13 years of marriage in 2012. In December of that year she got into a Facebook spat in the comments section of a post by Deborah Bligh, Mr Stocker's new girlfriend.

On the public post where all of their 'friends' could see, she claimed her ex-husband 'tried to strangle' her in 2003.

Following the original trial in 2016 Mr Justice Mitting noted that Mr Stocker had committed common assault - but had not tried to kill her.

He said 'each brought the worst out of each other' and they 'behaved to each other in a manner which does not credit either of them' on that night. 

She will fight the 2016 ruling today in the Supreme Court, where it will be decided whether the 'judge erred in determining the meaning of the words complained of '.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
