Cases

Lillie & Reed v Newcastle City Council & Others (No.2)

Comment

The case raised important issues on malice (a very rare finding especially against professionals); quantum of damages; and the correct approach to justification for child abuse allegations. It highlighted that public authorities and those employed or engaged by them have great protection under the law provided they do not deliberately abuse that protection as the Review Team did here by acting maliciously.
