Cases

Phillipps v Associated Newspapers Ltd & Another

Comment

This case reaffirmed the principle that a Claimant who has recovered more than nominal or derisory damages will be entitled to a reasonable statement in open court as part of his/her vindication. A Defendant who objects unreasonably to the Claimant's application for permission for a unilateral statement in open court is at risk of an adverse ruling on costs.
