The McLibel Trial

The McLibel Trial

In the mid 1980’s the small activist group London Greenpeace began  a campaign against McDonalds, the main allegations said to be the feeling that McDonalds embodies everything wrong with the prevailing corporate mentality.  In 1985 London Greenpeace organized the “International Day of Action Against McDonalds”, which is still held annually in Britain.  The following year the organization began to distribute leaflets titled “What is wrong with McDonalds? – Everything they don’t want you to know.”  In retaliation to this, McDonalds hired several private investigators to infiltrate the organization and provide names of the people heading this campaign.  The investigators provided the names of five individuals who were mainly responsible for the slander of McDonalds.  In 1990 McDonalds served libel writs against the five, offering them two options; either retract the statements made in the leaflet and apologize, or go on to court.
