Ian Bailey is to lodge an appeal in the High Court on Monday against the judgement in his libel case against eight newspapers.
The 47-year-old English journalist won damages of €8,000 at Cork Circuit Criminal Court against The Sun newspaper and The Irish Mirror last month. But he lost his action against six other newspapers who he claimed had defamed him during their coverage of the murder of French woman Sophie Toscan Du Plantier.
Ms Du Plantier was found dead in a lane way at her holiday home near Schull on December 23rd, 1996.
Last month Judge Patrick Moran ruled that there was nothing defamatory in the newspaper coverage of Mr Bailey being linked in reports to the murder of the film maker. The judge said the coverage did not identify him as a murderer.
Judge Moran said newspapers reported correctly that he was a suspect and they reported his assertions that he had nothing to do with the murder.
Mr Bailey was awarded €8,000 against the Sun and the Mirror because of unsubstantiated reports that he had assaulted his former wife Ms Sarah Limbrick.
