Vince, who has given millions of pounds to Labour in the run-up to the general election, says the Westminster-focused blog falsely suggested he supports Hamas, a proscribed terrorist group.
The green energy entrepreneur is now personally suing the site's Ireland-based owner, Paul Staines.
The editor has previously said that his Irish nationality and his blog being hosted in the US means that "I don't have to pay attention to what a British judge orders me to do".
Vince said: "He believes his 'offshore' structure protects him from being accountable, that he can flout our laws and disregard basic principles... With this legal action we hope to change that."
Vince has been given permission by an English judge to serve libel papers on Staines via email and post to his home in the Republic of Ireland. Staines declined to comment.
