Al Rajhi Banking & Investment Corporation v Wall Street Journal Europe (No.2)

Comment

The formulation of the proposed defence had gone through 6 shifts since Eady J's first judgment on the defendant's initial application for permission to amend. A further change was made during the hearing. As a result, the judge observed, ".. it may turn out, for all I know, to be the most expensive application to amend ever made in a libel action." The defendant had to pay all the costs.
