Cases

Williams v MGN Ltd

Comment

The judgment illustrates that the abuse of process doctrine is not limited to those claims where there has been minimal publication. Refering to the recent judgment in Lonzim Plc & Ors v Sprague, Eady J observed that, the fact of being sued at all is a serious interference with freedom of expression, and that this was "clearly an important consideration for the court to have in mind on any abuse application."
