Tom Oakey, 30, claimed food poisoning left him bedridden during his stay at a five-star Bulgarian hotel, despite boasting on social media of his and his partner’s “amazing” holiday.
His case was last week dismissed by a judge who, in what is believed to be a first, referred the case to the police to determine whether Oakey’s actions constituted a crime, the Daily Mail reports.
Oakey was ordered to pay Tui £9,000 costs following a hearing at Northamptonshire County Court.
He claimed food and poor hygiene at the Hotel Helena Park in Sunny Beach left him with diarrhoea and abdominal cramps so severe he was unable to leave his room for two days.
