Cases

Henry v BBC (No.2)

Comment

This case illustrates the flexibility of the Reynolds public interest defence. Although neither statutory privilege nor reply to attack privilege provided a complete defence for the BBC the Judge took into account elements from each defence, in addition to the Lord Nicholls' 10 "non-exhaustive" criteria, in considering whether the public had a right to know the allegations made in the broadcast.
