The posting was demeaning, misogynistic and was directed at core features of her womanhood, and was motivated by personal bigotry and political gain, the court was told.The judgement was obtained by default after no defence to Ms O'Neill's claim was entered in December.However it was adjourned to allow Mr Carson's legal representatives more time.
