Dominic Heale: Now though, the parents of the missing Leicestershire girl Madeleine McCann have started legal action. It's against a man who they claim has breached an order not to publish allegations linking them with her disappearance.

Anne Davies: Tony Bennett, who set up the Madeleine Foundation, has appeared at the High Court in London, where he denies a contempt of court application which was made by the McCanns. Mike O'Sullivan reports.

Mike O'Sullivan: (voice over) The man who wrote to the Prime Minister alleging that the McCanns were involved in their daughter's disappearance:

 

Tony Bennett published his letter online in May 2011.

(to camera) Today Tony Bennett appeared at the High Court in London to answer a claim by the McCanns that he'd breached an undertaking made in November 2009 to stop publishing allegations about them.

(voice over) Madeleine McCann from Rothley in Leicestershire went missing from her parent's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal in May 2007. A year later Tony Bennett set up what's called The Madeleine Foundation - an organisation that says it wants to find out what really happened to Madeleine.

 

The High Court heard that despite his undertaking in 2009, Mr Bennett continued to publish allegations about the McCanns, including letters he wrote to the Prime Minister, the Home Secretary and the senior Scotland Yard detective leading a review into the Madeleine case.

(to camera) The McCanns' barrister Adrienne Page said there was no complaint with Mr Bennett writing to the Prime Minister with allegations. She said the complaint was with publishing those allegations to the world at large.

(voice over) Mr Bennett, from Essex, is representing himself and has yet to formally to present his side in this continuing case.

Mike O'Sullivan, BBC East Midlands Today, at the High Court in London.
