《星期日邮报》因虚假指控英国工党议员凯瑟琳·阿特金森隐瞒私立学校背景而被起诉。报纸在7月初发表了这一错误声明，但阿特金森实际上就读于伦敦哈默史密斯的天主教综合中学圣心高中。1随后，该报纸发表道歉并支付赔偿金和法律费用。1
阿特金森将约5000英镑赔偿金用于在德比大学设立"凯瑟琳·阿特金森未来律师奖"。1该奖学金每年向德比公立学校出身的法律专业一年级学生提供500英镑资助，至少持续10年，预计至少为10位学生提供帮助。1
The Mail on Sunday faced legal action after falsely claiming that British Labour MP Catherine Atkinson had concealed her private school background.1 The newspaper issued an apology and paid damages along with legal costs to settle the dispute.1 Atkinson had actually attended the Catholic comprehensive school Sacred Heart High School in Hammersmith, London.1
Rather than retain the compensation, Atkinson directed approximately £5,000 of the settlement payout toward establishing the "Catherine Atkinson Future Lawyers Award" at the University of Derby.1 The scholarship provides £500 annually to first-year law students from state schools in the Derby area, with funding committed for at least ten years and expected to support a minimum of ten recipients.1 Through this arrangement, the tabloid's damages settlement ultimately became a mechanism for supporting university access for students from state education backgrounds.
