- On Thursday, supermodel Naomi Campbell won a legal challenge overturning her five-year ban from serving as a charity trustee in England and Wales after a First-Tier Tribunal ruling.

- Judges found Campbell "was not responsible for the inappropriate use" of resources, though she shared responsibility for failing to file accounts on time but remains fit to serve.
- During a four-day June hearing, Campbell testified her "only mistake" was trusting Hellmich, whom she alleged forged her signature, while the Charity Commission opposed overturning the ban.
