Cases

Fiddes v Channel Four Television Corporation & Ors (No 2) (CA)

Comment

It has been some time since the Court of Appeal has provided guidance on the issue of mode of trial in defamation actions. Lord Neuberger MR further refined the principles to be applied under s.69, noting in particular the need for caution when invoking the additional length and costs of a jury trial under the second limb of the test, and reaffirming the constitutional importance of the right to trial by jury.
