Cases

Jameel & Another v Wall Street Journal Europe


Comment

The Court of Appeal has given permission to appeal on the Judge's application and interpretation of the Reynolds test (as well as on the 'presumption of damage' point taken by D in respect of the corporate claimant). One issue which will arise will be the interaction of Reynolds with the subsequent decision in Bonnick v Morris (in which the journalist was held not liable for an unintended 'implied' defamatory meaning).
