Making a point

Colleagues inside and outside Auntie are watching the Byron Myers v The BBC employment tribunal with interest. And attention to detail.

One has noted an entertaining construction in The Daily Mail's reporting of proceedings.

At the tribunal, Caspar Glyn QC, for the BBC, repeatedly accused Mr Myers of fabricating conversations to bolster his claims, suggesting he had ‘made up a series of wholly untrue fictional lies’. Mr Myers insisted he was telling the truth. 

I've been searching for figures of speech that might cover this mangle, which, one assumes, the Mail man in court has noted accurately. Accumulation ? Commoratio ? Adynaton ? Complex epithet transference ?

Caspar seems a jolly bloke from his Twitter account, and has clearly recovered from a loss of voice last month.

Still lost my voice but looking forward to miming to 200 people at the 2013 Scottish EHRC Discrimination Conference with @mhrubenstein
