Cases

Tiscali UK Ltd v British Telecommunications Plc

Comment

It appears that the precise identity and nature of the Claimant was particularly significant. the Judge held that the reference to a 'plot' in the headline, on which the Claimant placed particular emphasis, would be understood as a reference to a human being rather than a corporation and so was not of assistance to the Claimant in their attempt to derive a defamatory meaning from the letters.
