Cases

Charman v Orion Publishing Group & others (No.3)

Comment

Although the case establishes that, in theory, Reynolds can protect books, the defence failed in this case. The interrelation between reportage and Reynolds is likely to be an area that will need further development. It is not clear - on the current state of the law - whether reportage (under Al-Fagih) is an aspect of Reynolds protection or a free-standing basis on which to avoid liability.
