Cases

Merelie v Newcastle Primary Health Care Trust & Others (No.3)

Comment

The Claimant's principal complaint was that the Trust had never investigated her claim that she was the victim of a conspiracy by former colleagues. The judge carried out this task comprehensively and rejected every allegation made by the Claimant. It is unusual for a judge to make findings both that the words complained of were not defamatory and, in the alternative, that they were true in the defamatory meaning advanced by the defendant.
