Cases

Barnett v Crozier

Facts

The plaintiff sued a journalist and publisher for libel in a letter published in the Spectator magazine. The plaintiff and publisher settled the claim between them but the journalist continued to defend the claim against him. He objected to the reading of an agreed statement in court prior to the trial of the claim against him on two grounds. He claimed it would prejudice the trial and that it defamed him. Tucker J approved the reading of the statement and the plaintiff appealed.
