London following a row with another member - who happened to be a top Department of Health official. Ms Mok, 44, who was unnvaccinated, rowed with civil servant Phoebe Topping over whether or not she had to quarantine after returning from a trip to Bulgaria last autumn.
The club - whose members have included the likes of British fashion designer Paul Smith and once made American actress Grace Kelly an honorary member - cancelled her member a month later. Now Ms Mok, a self-styled ‘private investor’, is suing the Lansdowne in the High Court for £50,000 for ‘loss of privacy, injury to feelings and person, distress and damage to [her] reputation’.
A spokesperson for the club said they were 'extremely surprised' that the claim has been brought against them. In her claim against the Lansdowne, which boasts its own swimming pool and occasionally holds fencing competitions in its ballroom, Ms Mok, alleges that she has been the victim of statements which are both ‘untrue’ and ‘made maliciously’, and which imply that she had been ‘convicted of a criminal offence’.
In court documents, Ms Mok, a self-styled ‘private investor’, explains that, until her expulsion, she was a member not just of the club but also of the council that oversees how the Lansdowne is run. Last autumn, after travelling to Bulgaria, she attended a meeting of the club’s council.
Afterwards, Ms Mok had dinner, sitting next to a fellow council member, Phoebe Topping — Head of International Certification at the Department of Health, responsible for drafting and implementing government policy on ‘vaccine certification for travel’.
