Cases

Veliu v Mazrekaj

Comment

The amount of compensation awarded C in this case is more than double that previously awarded in any offer of amends case. The amount reflects the gravity of the libel and also the poor conduct of the defendants before and after publication and complaint. It should be noted that neither defendant chose to take part in the proceedings. The article was published without any prior investigation or verification. It stands as an example of how a Defendant can lose a substantial part of the discount for using the offer of amends procedure by his conduct.
