Norman v Future Publishing

Comment

There was no attempt to justify the published statement, and there was evidence that the story was an old chestnut of the operatic world that had been attributed to others in the past. But Jessye Norman almost certainly suffered far worse injury to her reputation through bringing this claim (the outcome of which was widely reported) than she could have done from the initial article, published in a specialist magazine.
