Cases

Clarke t/a Elumina Iberica UK v Bain & Prolink Holdings Corp

Comment

The judgment gives a valuable account of when it may be appropriate for a libel claimant to rely in aggravation of damages upon publications other than those sued on, and applies the case management principles outlined by Gray J in Collins Stewart to a claim involving a personal, as opposed to a corporate, claimant. The Judge also builds on the foundations he laid in Adelson v Associated Newspapers in respect of proportionality when considering the scope of an aggravated damages plea in a libel claim.
