Cases

Harrods Ltd v Dow Jones & Co Inc

Comment

Whilst this case merely applies well known legal principles it does establish a useful precedent for claimants seeking to sue within the jurisdiction where the "substance" of the publication took place elsewhere and publication within the jurisdiction was minimal. But minimal circulation in this jurisdiction will not always guarantee success on jurisdiction: in this case, a US judge had stated that the US was not the appropriate forum for the action.
